Speer Grand Slam .308 180 grain rifle bullets are purpose-built for hunters who need reliable expansion and deep penetration on medium to large game. This 50-count box of Model 2063 bullets carries a legacy stretching back to the 1970s, when Speer first introduced them to serious hunters demanding bullets that hold together on impact. The .308 180-grain loading strikes a balance between velocity and sectional density—ideal for deer, elk, and other game where controlled energy transfer matters more than explosive velocity.
What sets Grand Slam bullets apart is the Hot Cor process, which fuses the jacket and core during manufacturing. This creates a unified structure that expands predictably and retains weight through bone and muscle rather than fragmenting into pieces. The tapered jacket is precision-drawn to exacting tolerances, and internal flutes work with the core fusion to produce symmetrical, consistent expansion once the bullet is downrange. Reloaders who've built ammunition around these bullets year after year know they deliver the accuracy and terminal performance that separate clean kills from wounded animals.
Whether you're developing a load for your bolt rifle or your lever gun, these bullets are designed for hunters who refuse to compromise on reliability. They've proven themselves in the field across decades and across countless cartridges that use .308 diameter projectiles. For reloaders who prioritize consistency, weight retention, and the kind of performance that builds confidence in the field, the Speer Grand Slam remains an excellent choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What game are Speer Grand Slam .308 180-grain bullets designed for?
These bullets are built for medium to large game hunting. The 180-grain weight and controlled expansion characteristics make them suitable for deer, elk, and comparable species where reliability and weight retention are essential.
How many bullets are in a box of Speer Grand Slam Model 2063?
Each box contains 50 bullets, giving reloaders a standard component quantity for developing and testing loads.
What is the Hot Cor process and why does it matter?
Hot Cor is Speer's process of fusing the jacket and core together during manufacturing rather than bonding them afterward. This creates a unified structure that resists separation on impact, allowing the bullet to retain weight and penetrate reliably through bone and tissue.
Are these bullets suitable for different .308 rifles?
Yes. These .308 diameter bullets work with any rifle chambered in .308 Winchester or other cartridges that use .308 projectiles, as long as you develop loads within safe parameters for your specific rifle and powder combination.
