I got 1000 Speer wadcutters because they were cheap and available. It was my first time loading wadcutters and I've avoided them for a long time because I always feared given how deep they're seated I'd have pressure issues.
Well, I was right.
I used 1.8gr of Titegroup (starting load according to Hodgdon) in mixed .32 SWL cases and got primers flattening. Smartly, I shot them in a .327 revolver, so I didn't damage the gun, but I was thinking of shooting these in a top break and it's a good thing I didn't.
I also used the same charge, but in .32 H&R Mag and didn't get any primers flattened, so this isn't making sense. I used load data from Hodgdon's website and all my cases were the same OAL, within a couple thou of each other.
I'm gonna switch to Bullseye next time and see if I also get flat primers. If I do, then I'll have to cut the powder charge, but if I don't then something is up with Titegroup and wadcutters.
