I load wadcutters at a target or slightly higher level for my "XX" Special revolvers. It makes for nice, easy shooting ammunition for a day of plinking. They cut nice round holes in the targets.Interesting. I usually stick with the 240gr LSWC myself. What would be the gain to these?
I just got one too. Will be interesting to try.Walkalong, I just found one of those lee 208wc molds. Can’t wait to use it!
The top one is designed to be loaded like a traditional SWC and not nearly flush with the case mouth like a WC. It will be easier to chamber, but leave more air space in the case. Depending on the powder used. Could be useful for hotter loads that need the space. Probably intended for lever guns that can't feed WC seated at the case mouth.First is a Lyman 429348 185 gr.
2nd is a sorta new one from Matt’s bullets 200 gr.
Anyone compared these two styles in a shoot test. One more accurate than the other? Thanks in advance

Just a flat seating stem to seat the bullet.
Just a flat seating stem to seat the bullet.
Or by filing a RN seater stem flat. I did that to a Lee seater and it worked just fine.A flat seating stem is helpful but not entirely necessarily.
One can be made by filling the cavity of pointed bullet stem to make a flat seating stem.
Gorgeous!got the Lee 429-208WC mold in. Cast a few from 1:20 and powder coated. Hope to load some soon
