Speer 2053 .308 180-Grain Hot-Cor Soft Point

Speer Hot-Cor .308 180-Grain Soft Point Bullets

The Speer Hot-Cor bullet represents a proven approach to handloading ammunition that balances performance with economy. These .308 caliber projectiles are built using Speer's distinctive Hot-Cor manufacturing process, where molten lead is poured directly into the jacket during construction.

Key Features

• Caliber: .308 Winchester
• Weight: 180 grains
• Style: Spitzer soft point
• Construction: Hot-Cor molten lead core process
• Quantity: 100 bullets per box, 5 boxes per case (500 total)

Performance Characteristics

The Hot-Cor construction method delivers several practical advantages for the reloader:

• Consistency: The molten lead core bonds uniformly to the jacket, reducing weight variation between bullets
• Accuracy: Uniform construction translates to predictable ballistics across your handloaded ammunition
• Terminal Performance: The soft point design expands reliably on game at typical rifle velocities
• Cost-Effective: This proven manufacturing method keeps prices reasonable for volume shooters

Ideal Applications

These 180-grain bullets excel in medium to long-range hunting scenarios and target shooting with .308 Winchester rifles. The weight and design make them suitable for deer, elk, and similar game when loaded to appropriate velocities.

Whether you're developing precision rifle loads or preparing hunting ammunition, Speer Hot-Cor bullets offer the reliability and performance that have made them a standard in handloading for decades.
