The Special World Of Wadcutters - Part 1 The Hollow Base Wadcutter (culled for YouTube)

All the reloading sequences have been culled for KZbin. To see the entire video, please go to the RUMBLE platform - see FortuneCookie45LC - - In the full spectrum of handgun bullets, the hollow based 38 caliber wadcutter is unique. For mild pressure loadings only, target and small game hunting are the only uses. Loaded as intended, the HBWCs are superb in their assigned role. And as long as competition and range shooting are done, these bullets and loads will have their day...There are particular considerations involved with these bullets and the loading of them....

The KZbin anti-handloading stuff is so lame.

Dude!!! WATCH OUT!!! One of those cases has a split in the mouth. Your gun might spit in your eyes.......

I've acquired some HBWC bullets for reloading as slugs for my new Lever Action .410. I'm going to load some brass Magtec .410 hulls as well as some plastic hulls using the HOBO slug technique of pouring out the shot and replacing it with a lighter solid projectile . I've identified some wad / slug combinations that fit well through my choke tubes , so I'm only lacking the correct primers to move on with this project . I plan to roll crimp the plastic hulls and will also be rounding the mouth of the brass hulls just slightly to aid in cycling through the tubular magazine and the lever action of my GFORCE ARMS LVR410 . I REALLY wish that someone made a rifled choke tube that would work in my Beretta / Benelli Mobilechoke barrel as Buffalo's Outdoors on KZbin has gotten some outstanding accuracy firing slugs through a rifled choke tube .

Looking forward to the range results. I am a lead bullet fan and very much interested in whether and what you might lose with plating.

what is youtube so afraid of?

I use both Berry’s and swaged lead HBWC’s in both revolvers and a 52-2. Accuracy is amazing in both, but I have to use a larger charge to get the same velocity with the Berry’s plated HBWC. I typically use 3.0 grs of N320 with lead HBWC’s with perfect function in my 52-2, but need 3.4-3.5 grs of N320 to get the same reliable function in my 52-2. Both are soft shooting and accurate.

Thank you fc.

[@Yoda052]

The 148 gr HBWC is my absolute favorite road to shoot. Buttery smooth in a revolver, it’s even sweeter in a dedicated semi like a Midrange Colt or a Smith & Wesson 52-2. I must admit a terrible weakness for the 52, as I have several… a few I shoot 2-3x’s a week, to a couple, new in the box. What a shame it was discontinued after the machinery was deemed too expensive to repair in 1993.

Hard to beat Matts bullets for great lead bullets .

Bloke u r zo rite yank nailed it 😮

Do you shoot these in a dedicated 38 Special? I tried 38 Special and 357 Magnum cases with them in a 357 Magnum Blackhawk. The 357 Mag cases shot way better. Just wondered if that was normal or just my setup.
