Description
38/357 (.357) 125 Grain Truncated Cone Plated Bullets
Our 125 Grain Truncated Cone .38 caliber plated bullets deliver an excellent balance between quality and value. These bullets begin as lead cores that are struck to a precise starting weight. These cores then undergo a multi-step heavy copper plating process that deposits an approximately 0.008″ thickness of copper that completely encompasses the lead core. These copper-plated bullets are then restruck to exact dimensions and visually inspected. This process delivers consistent bullets batch after batch ensuring your shots are right on target every time. These plated bullets offer a great balance between quality and value. This allows you to shoot the same bullet during practice that you would during a match without blowing your budget.
The typical plating thickness of plated bullets on the market today is 0.003-0.006 inches. The heavy plating of our bullets, 0.008 inches, is a distinct advantage over others. This thicker total copper jacket allows you to achieve FMJ velocities without the cost. You may also see these bullets referred to as Total Metal Jacket (TMJ) or Complete Metal Jacket (CMJ) bullets.
Not only are plated bullets less expensive than traditional FMJ pistol bullets, but they are also cleaner and safer to shoot. Why? The plating fully encapsulates the lead. With FMJs the base of the bullet contains exposed lead that will vaporize when the round is fired. This is eliminated with plated bullets.

I bought 250 of these for loading 38 Spec. for my S&W M36, I have not had a chance to load these yet but they look like a nice bullet, very good price on these too.

This is an excellent projectile, for both 38 special and 357 mag. Very easy to work with, good looking bullet, it produces reliable and accurate rounds. My favorite projectile so far, versatile applications, from gentle 38 specials to powerful 357 magnums I highly recommend this product.
