Hey, guys -
I have lots of experience loading full wadcutter loads for revolvers, but I've always used cast lead wadcutters that have lube grooves and crimping grooves in them. Easy to set up and load.
I just picked up some factory-made Hornady hollow-base wadcutters and they're simply cylinders with no lube grooves or ANY grooves at all. No crimping grooves. In a box of 250, they're packaged in plastic bags - I assume that it is some kind of powdered lube that's on them. Anybody know?
So my question - you guys that are loading them... are you doing light roll crimps so the case just digs into the side of the wadcutter a bit? I noticed that the listed OAL would indicate that's what I need to do, since it looks like the projectile would extend from the case a bit.
Tell me how you're loading them...
Thanks.
Roger
