I found these with a bunch of scrap lead. Was going to melt them but they look shootable. Anyone know what brand they might be? Size and weight are obvious. I can't seem to find them online. No big deal, just curious. Any ID help appreciated. ![[Linked Image]](https://s20.postimg.org/e6g34y85l/IMG_1419.jpg)

They look like the old Speer 146 gr. Half jacket. I used a bunch of those in a model 28 I had. Good accurate bullet in .38 or .357 brass.

They appear to be the Speer 146 gr half jacket. As best I recall Speer cautioned against light loads as their is a possibility of leaving the jacket in the barrel. Had it happen on a 3" M36 Smith about 1969. Lead was gone but half of jacket was sticking out of the end of the barrel. They shot very well.

Those are Speer 146 swc hp's with a 3/4 jacket. They are one of the most accurate .357 bullets I've used in my .357's. unfortunately they have been discontinued but I've got a few hundred left. Don't use them for reduced loads.

Thanks for all the responses! Will look into shooting them. No sense melting them just to make bullets again.

No challenge at all.

They sure don't! Love this place. Dug out my #10 Speer manual. Plenty on hand to put these to use.
Thanks!
