I've got a bug to try shooting wadcutters in my old 38. I've loaded and shot thousands of 158 gr LRN and LSWC, but I've never loaded or shot wadcutters.
From what I've read on the internet there are mixed opinions (big surprise, right?) on whether or not I need to buy a new seating die or just use the one that I have. It's a basic Lee seating die. Also is the crimp die that came with my Lee set OK for wadcutters?
Which wadcutter bullets should I get to start?
I plan on using Bullseye starting around 2.7 grains, but I'm flexible on powder.
Any comments or advice will be greatly appreciated!
