Speer Hot-Cor Spitzer Soft Point bullets are designed for hunters who need reliable, all-range accuracy and consistent terminal performance on medium to large game. Unlike traditional cold-core bullets, the Hot-Cor process involves pouring molten lead directly into the copper jacket, creating a molecular-style bond that holds the bullet together upon impact with heavy bone or muscle. The 130-grain Spitzer profile is the iconic all-rounder for the .270 Winchester, offering a high ballistic coefficient for flatter shooting and superior wind resistance. This bullet provides a quick-opening nose for immediate energy transfer and a tough, bonded shank for the deep penetration required for ethical harvests of deer, elk, and antelope. Defensive Application These high-velocity hunting bullets are designed for deep-tissue penetration. They present an extreme over-penetration risk in residential environments and are not recommended for home defense.
