Description
The Hornady Frontier Lead line delivers precision-cast, pre-lubricated lead pistol bullets purpose-built for accurate target shooting and economical handgun practice. These .357 diameter projectiles are sized for the 38 Caliber family of handgun cartridges and are cold-swaged for total uniformity, balance, and consistent downrange performance from shot to shot.
Each bullet is cast in the classic Semi-Wadcutter (SWC) profile at 158 grains, with a flat-faced nose that cuts clean, easy-to-score holes in paper targets and a tapered crimp groove that delivers positive bullet grip in the case mouth. An all-lead jacket-and-core construction keeps recoil mild and cost per round low for high-volume range sessions. Hornady’s exclusive knurling system helps the factory-applied lubricant stay in place so bullets feed smoothly and minimize leading in the bore.
Bullets are packaged 300 per box, with 6 boxes per case (1,800 total), making this SKU a strong pick for handloaders running bulk 38 Special or .357 Magnum target loads. The bullet carries a .135 ballistic coefficient and a .176 sectional density, confirming its intended role as a short-range, accuracy-oriented handgun projectile rather than a high-BC hunting bullet.
