Quilly, I don' t believe they do (I' m assuming that they are cast bullets).

If you' re looking for expansion, depending on the game you' ll be hunting, look at corbon and georgia arms. Both offer hot loads in 357 that are strait out of a deer' s worst nightmare.

Fedral Cast core use cast bullets supplied by Cast Performance in Riverton WY. They are not designed to expand. The large meplat does the tissue destruction. Loads like this get the most performance out of handguns.

i;ve shot them outta my 357blackhawk, and they shoot good, haven;t tried them on any animal yet but they grouped better than the win. partitoins so i;m gonna use them also bought some of the 165gr rem corelokts but i haven;t tried them yet, i;ve got some of the cast performance bullets for my 44mag to reload and they are a well constructed hunk of lead, very tough i smacked one with a hammer vs a regular swc and they are alot harder and they don;t seem to be brittle either just flatten out a bit
