Speer
Speer lead handgun bullets for .38/.357 Mag give reloaders a time-tested, economical option for target practice, plinking, and general shooting. These .358" 158-grain lead round-nose bullets have been a staple in handload recipes for decades, and Speer's cold-forming process delivers consistent performance at a fraction of what jacketed alternatives cost. Whether you're burning through ammo at the range or working up loads for casual shooting, this 500-count box gives you enough to load a serious session without breaking the bank.
What sets Speer lead bullets apart is their multi-layer lube system. Unlike older lead bullet designs, this advanced lube stays bonded to the bullet instead of flaking off during firing or burning away in the chamber—eliminating most of the gas cutting and leading that plagued bare lead ammunition. The lube is clean and dry to the touch, so your hands stay clean while you're sorting and loading, and it won't migrate or melt during storage or transport. That means consistent chambering and a cleaner bore between cleaning sessions.
The 158-grain round-nose profile is a workhorse weight and shape for .38 and .357 loads. It feeds reliably through most revolvers and semi-automatic platforms, and the bullet construction is forgiving enough for hand-loaders at all levels. Cold-formed rather than cast, these bullets offer tighter dimensional tolerances and a smoother surface finish than many budget alternatives, which translates to easier sizing and more predictable velocities across your batch.
If you reload .38 Special or .357 Magnum in volume, Speer lead bullets are a smart choice—they deliver proven quality and significantly lower per-round cost, freeing up your budget for primers and powder or just letting you shoot more.
| Brand | Speer |
| Caliber | .38/.357 Mag |
| Bullet Diameter | .358" |
| Weight | 158 Gr |
| Style | Lead Round-Nose (LRN) |
| Quantity | 500 per box |
Yes. The .358" diameter and 158-grain weight are compatible with .357 Magnum chambers as well as .38 Special. Always verify proper fit and function with your specific firearm before loading large quantities.
A 500-count box gives you 500 bullets, which will yield 500 finished rounds when you have primers and powder on hand.
That depends on your press and your preferred technique. Most reloaders run handgun bullets through a sizing die as part of their standard process to ensure consistent diameter and smooth feeding.
The lube stays bonded to the bullet during firing instead of burning off or flaking away in the chamber. This reduces leading—the fouling that builds up in your bore—and keeps gas cutting to a minimum, so your bore stays cleaner between cleaning sessions and you get more consistent performance across your loads.
