Very common, very accurate, and very little recoil. And they cut a very clean hole in the target, making scoring easier.

hence "wadcutter"

Loaded and shot many thousands of these back in the 80s. Looks specifically like the classic 148 Hollow Base Wad Cutter or 38 HBWC.
Bullseye or Unique powders were the most common.

Bigger hole equals higher score. Liners are in.

I once had a girlfriend who was a SERIOUS wadcutter, does that count?

Oh wait, did you mean she was flat?
Man i need to get my innuendo straight! Lol

Thank you all. I think "wadcutter" has been established. Can anyone tell me more? Use in a 3" revolver? What about that lever gun I'm seeking?

They will work in any revolver chambered for them. Don't recall the manufacturer, but if I recall correctly we were paying about $3 per hundred for lead wadcutter bullets back in the early 70s.
I have a 250 round box of CCI aluminum cased wadcutters..
They punch a very visible hole. Great for new shooters.
Best,
Gary

I used to shoot fully seated wadcutters with gas checks, perfect paperpunchers

That's for shooting around corners... it's a feature, not a fault!

Just you. The ammo is round, and sound.

Hey Folks,

I was gifted an assortment of random ammunition. A small handful of rounds are stamped "38 SPL CBC" ... you can see the round on the right in the picture next to a regular 38 SPL hallow point.

Who has used these rounds? What are your thoughts?

Most importantly: I'm in the market for a 357/38 SPL lever gun (let me know if you have one for sale!!) would these shorter CBC rounds work in a lever gun?

Thanks!

Wadcutters! Underrated defensive round

I came across a misplaced stash a few years ago. Rediscovered the marvels of 148g wadcutters on steel & paper at 50'!

They make a pill for that..
(Its a fisheye type lens with a wide FOV, theres always a trade off.)

NOTE it does not say the "f" word, its merely a name.
you have me on "retarded" though, and if thats the level of back bone we are supporting well then, thats retarded! learn to laugh.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned they're wadcutters yet.

Hey, those look like wadcutters to me!

Idk, Im pretty sure he loaded those upside down. Still skeptical. I demand a x ray, With no cut scenes. The consensus is pretty varying.
