Description

If you shoot an older .32 caliber lever gun or pump rifle, you already know finding good bullets can feel like a scavenger hunt. Speer's 2259 fills that gap nicely. These are .321 diameter, 170-grain soft point flat nose projectiles built specifically for the classic .32s, and the flat nose profile is what makes them safe to stack in a tubular magazine without worrying about a pointed tip resting on a primer.

What Makes the Hot-Cor Process Different

The name Hot-Cor isn't marketing fluff. Speer pours molten lead directly into the copper jacket while it's still liquid, which fuses the core to the jacket and wipes out the thin layer of lead oxide you get with cold-swaged bullets. That translates to a core that stays put under recoil and won't separate on impact. The result is deeper, more consistent penetration and controlled expansion, which is exactly what you want when you're chasing deer-sized game with a woods rifle.

Dialed In for the .32 Family

With a .321 bullet diameter, a G1 ballistic coefficient of .297, and a sectional density of .236, the 2259 is a natural fit for the .32 Winchester Special and .32 Remington. Handloaders also run these in the .32-40 and other .321 chambers when the rifle is rated for jacketed bullets. The 170-grain weight is the traditional standard for these cartridges, so published load data is easy to come by in most reloading manuals.

Handloading With the 2259 Hot-Cor

These come 100 to a box, giving you plenty of runway to work up a load and still have components left for the hunt. The bullets carry a cannelure for a solid crimp, which matters in tube magazines where recoil can shove rounds around. Folks who load for the .32 Win Special and .32 Remington consistently praise how accurate and easy to seat these are, and they hold up well on game. For a cartridge that factory ammo has mostly abandoned, having a quality bullet like this available keeps those old rifles doing what they were built to do.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cartridges are the Speer 2259 Hot-Cor bullets meant for?

These .321 diameter, 170-grain bullets are a classic fit for the .32 Winchester Special and .32 Remington, which is why they're a favorite among folks keeping those old rifles fed. Handloaders also use them in the .32-40 and other .321 chambers, as long as the rifle is rated for jacketed bullets. The 170-grain weight is the traditional standard for these calibers, so load data is widely available.

Are these Hot-Cor bullets safe to use in a tubular magazine?

Yes. The flat nose profile is designed specifically for tube-fed lever and pump rifles so the tip won't rest against the primer of the round ahead of it. That flat point is one of the main reasons these bullets are the go-to choice for the .32 Win Special and .32 Remington.

What does the Hot-Cor process actually do?

Speer pours molten lead into the copper jacket while it's still liquid, which bonds the core to the jacket and eliminates the lead oxide layer found in cold-core bullets. This keeps the core from slipping or separating, so you get deeper penetration and more reliable expansion on game. It's a big part of why these bullets hold together so well under recoil.

Is the Speer 2259 loaded ammunition or a component bullet?

This is a component bullet for handloading, not finished ammunition. You'll need brass, primers, and powder to assemble complete cartridges. Each box contains 100 projectiles, giving you plenty to develop a load and still have some ready for hunting season.
