Sam: Hollow tips filled with witch-killing brew.
Rowena: How exciting for you. Your NRA will be beside themselves with pride.– Sam and Rowena, 10.23 Brother's Keeper
Witch-killing bullets are a type of hollow-point tipped bullets that have been injected with "witch-killing brew." The ingredients of the "brew" are not known, other than it requires fresh chicken feet. Unlike the normal spell, the bullets don't cause the witch to disintegrate, but have the same effect as regular bullets, killing witches who would be otherwise invulnerable to a bullet or any other regular weapon. The bullet casings are engraved with a capital W to identify them.

Trivia
- The witch-killing bullets were initially created to threaten Rowena. Ironically, in 12.11 Regarding Dean, her life is saved with one.
- When Sam uses the witch-killing bullets, he uses the small revolver he initially loaded with them which he appears to keep in the trunk ready for use. In contrast, Dean simply loads his regular gun with the bullets. Sam has consistently used the revolver each time and has never been seen to use his normal gun, even years later.
- While made with the potion from Bobby Singer's witch-killing spell, the bullets don't require the incantation (though the incantation may have been spoken while creating the brew), nor do they cause the witch to disintegrate like the spell version does.
