Enjoyed the video looking forward for more. 38 special
Ive loaded many. 38 special wadcutter loads for my Smith and wesson 686 and having a Smith and wesson model 52 ,a semi automatic target model that requires that load. Always found these to be extremely accurate and mild to shoot. Excellent video.
Enjoyed this video. Keep it up.
Appreciate the kind words, support, and encouragement!
Awesome job brother! Very respectable groups. Yea we all can improve, but those are great in my opinion. Those bullets look cool…definitely different from anything I’ve used. I use the 158gr SWC with my .38 Special loads. Hope you have a great weekend!
Another good video. My .45 load book just arrived. Doing a number of test loads soon to pick a light and heavy pet load.
When I was a sprout, I remember Skeeter Skelton loading hollow base .38 loads ‘Accidentally’ upside down and hot for defense duty loads.
Dang nice little M10-6.
Awesome! And appreciate it! It’s been a dandy of a handgun for me.
Some pretty good groups, even DA. Those wadcutters are cutting some nice holes and performing quite well. Another good Friday.
I agree! The numbers are perfect. Will make a fine load! Just need to polish up on my skills!
Thx for the video! I just finished reloading 450x 148gr WC flat base from WM Bullets and 100x 148gr WC hollow base from H&N.
Midway USA has those load manuals that you mentioned also. I had thought about them just the other day so it was great that you reminded me, I ordered a few including the .38 Special that you spoke about. Thank you for the great information.
Wadcutters are strange to handload. The powder loads are generally pretty light and the seating can be tricky when you first start. They shoot like a dream though!
I found this video because I wasn't sure if you turn them around backwards and use them for hollow points
Some old timers have mentioned that before. I intend to try some that way, someday.
Another great video my friend! I thought the groups were pretty decent for a first loading: maybe a couple tenths down on powder?
A while back, Fortunecooky45 pulled some Remington HBWC factory rounds and surmised the charge was 3.2g of 231; they apparently shot very accurately. I agree 3.5g is a bit on the high side for a target load, the recoil and M.V of just shy of 850fps tends to support this, so I agree with you. Interesting video, and helpful to those of us experimenting with the same bullet and powder combination.
love to see what that load does out of a 2 inch barrel.
Eye mon means I am going to lol
