Hornady .38 Caliber Lead Semi-Wadcutter Bullets
Hornady Frontier lead pistol bullets represent a time-tested approach to handgun ammunition component manufacturing. These .38 caliber, 158-grain semi-wadcutter bullets are engineered for shooters who demand consistency and reliability.
Manufacturing Excellence
Unlike cast bullets, Hornady's lead bullets are cold-swaged, a process that ensures superior uniformity and balance. This manufacturing method produces bullets with exceptional concentricity—critical for accuracy and reliable feeding through your firearm.
Key Features
- Caliber: .38 Cal (.358" diameter)
- Weight: 158 grains
- Design: Semi-wadcutter (SWC)
- Ballistic Coefficient: .135
- Sectional Density: .176
- Pre-lubricated: Ready to load straight from the box
- Knurled Base: Retains lubricant across the entire bearing surface
Performance Benefits
The semi-wadcutter profile combines a traditional congealed nose with a flat cutting edge, delivering a design with perfect symmetry. The base knurling system is engineered to hold lubricant evenly distributed across the entire bearing surface, significantly reducing barrel leading—a common concern with lead ammunition.
These bullets work exceptionally well in .38 Special and .357 Magnum revolvers, as well as in pistols chambered for .38 ACP. Whether you're a competitive shooter, a cowboy action enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates quality handloading components, Hornady's lead bullets offer the uniformity and performance you expect.
