Speer .458 400gr Flat Nose Soft Point Bullets

These are serious bullets for serious hunters. Speer's flat nose soft point design in .458 diameter represents a time-tested approach to large-bore rifle ammunition that has proven itself in the field.

Design and Construction

Hot-Cor Technology: The bullets feature Speer's proprietary Hot-Cor bonding process, which fuses the lead core to the copper jacket during manufacturing. This ensures consistent performance and reliability across every shot.

Flat Nose Profile: The flat nose design is optimized for rifles with tubular magazines and provides excellent ballistic characteristics for close to moderate range hunting scenarios.

Soft Point Jacket: The soft point construction initiates controlled expansion upon impact, creating a wound channel while maintaining penetration through heavy bone and muscle.

Performance Characteristics

  • Weight: 400 grains—substantial mass for deep penetration
  • Diameter: .458 inch, suitable for large-bore rifle cartridges
  • Expansion: Moderate, controlled expansion designed for one-shot reliability
  • Penetration: Deep penetration through dense tissue and bone structure

Ideal For

These bullets are purpose-built for hunters pursuing large game at close to moderate ranges. They excel in situations where deep, reliable penetration is paramount. The 400-grain weight and flat nose profile make them particularly effective in lever-action and single-shot rifles.
