Speer Hot-Cor .308 130 grain flat nose bullets are precision rifle bullets built with the reloaders and hunters who demand consistency shot after shot. The Hot-Cor manufacturing process sets these projectiles apart: molten lead is poured directly into the jacket during production, creating a core-jacket bond that's uniform and stable. That consistency translates to tighter groups, more predictable ballistics, and better results whether you're handloading for hunting or target work.
The 130 grain flat nose profile is a classic choice for .308 Winchester hunting applications, offering a balance of velocity and energy retention across a range of rifle platforms and powder charges. Because these bullets are manufactured to tight tolerances, they'll sort and load more uniformly than cast or swaged alternatives, saving you frustration at the reloading bench and confidence on game or at the range.
This is 100 rounds per box—a practical volume for hunters and handloaders who want to test a load or stock up for a season without overcommitting to a single bullet weight and profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Hot-Cor and other bullet construction methods?
Speer's Hot-Cor process pours molten lead directly into the jacket, creating a consistent bond between core and jacket. This results in more uniform bullet performance, tighter weight distribution, and better accuracy potential compared to traditional swaging methods.
Are these bullets suitable for hunting?
Yes. The 130 grain .308 flat nose is designed for hunting applications. The flat nose profile is known for controlled expansion and reliable energy transfer on game-sized animals.
Can I use these for target shooting or benchrest?
Absolutely. The consistency of Hot-Cor manufacturing makes these bullets well-suited to handloading for precision target work. Many shooters choose them for both hunting and range use.
What comes in the box?
This is a box of 100 loose bullets ready for reloading. It does not include cases, primers, or powder—just the projectiles.
