A while back I made a trade with a member of my gun range, it was 380 ACP for some miscellaneous 38's.
I ended up with some 148 grain Federal 38 wadcutters and holy cow, they were like lasers... now I'm hooked. Color me impressed!
I don't know much about wadcutters though. Can I use my 38 reloading dies for wadcutters, or do I need a separate set of dies? Do wadcutters require any special techniques to reload? You know, different from round nose bullets?
Yes, I could looks this up, but I probably trust y'all more than the average yahoo on YouTube.
And...Why are wadcutters more accurate? Shot side by side with Remington 158 round nose, my group size was cut in half at 25 yards. Normally I reload but just didn't have any 38's at the moment. It's been too hot lately so I just used some factory ammunition.
And this was in the newest Blackhawk I bought back in May. It's a 357/9mm convertible.
