Detailed Description
CAST’s .38 caliber round nose lead bullets are crafted from a proprietary lead alloy that balances softness for optimal case expansion with enough hardness to preserve dimensional integrity. The 0.358‑inch diameter matches the industry standard for .38 Special, .38 Super, and many custom .38 cartridges, making these projectiles a versatile choice for a wide range of handgun platforms.
The classic round nose shape offers a smooth feeding experience in both revolvers and semi‑automatic pistols, minimizing the risk of jams and reducing recoil impulse. This design also contributes to a predictable ballistic profile, which is essential for shooters looking to maintain tight shot groups during competition or defensive drills.
Each bullet is precision‑machined and measured to ensure uniform weight and concentricity, resulting in reliable velocity consistency from load to load. Whether you’re loading a 125‑grain or a 140‑grain load, CAST bullets provide the stability needed for accurate, repeatable performance.

These bullets are designed for use in the following firearms and cartridge combinations:
- .38 Special revolvers and semi‑automatic pistols
- .38 Super platforms
- Custom .38 load development (e.g., 0.358" cases)
- Target shooting, competition, and defensive reloads
Always verify that your specific firearm’s chamber dimensions are compatible with a 0.358" bullet before loading.
Reloading Tips for Best Results
- Start with a proven .38 Special or .38 Super load data from a reputable reloading manual.
- Use a high‑quality powder and maintain consistent charge weights.
