The Speer Hot-Cor .458 400 grain flat nose bullet is built for hunters who reload ammunition for large-game rifles and need reliable, affordable components that deliver consistent performance. This 50-round pack contains jacketed bullets engineered for moderate expansion and deep penetration—exactly what you want when hunting heavy game at closer ranges where a clean, ethical shot matters most.
Hot-Cor technology keeps the lead core and jacket bonded together throughout firing, which means less bullet deformation, more predictable expansion, and deeper penetration through heavy bone and muscle. The flat nose profile on these .458 diameter rounds is a time-tested design for controlled energy transfer in larger-caliber rifles. Reloaders choose Speer for the balance of quality and value: you get proven bullet construction without the premium price tag of match-grade components.
Whether you're loading rounds for an African hunt, culling operations, or range work, these 400-grain projectiles are made to perform. They come as a reloading component, so you'll pair them with your choice of brass, powder, and primers to match your rifle's chamber and hunting scenario. Speer's reputation in the hunting and reloading communities rests on this kind of reliable, no-nonsense design.
