I've never had a use for RNs or WCs, perceiving them to be strictly target stuff. I still feel that way about RNs.
I've read everything I can find written by @Outpost75 and kept coming back to one article in particular about WCs, maybe two if you count SD and "bunny gun" content. Still, I shunned them, even though both applications are dear to me.
Then @Tomme boy finds this great deal (STEAL) on LEE, 6C, 148 grain WC moulds at Midway - $26. I had no excuses left to not try them and see.
Well, loaded to 38 Special target-load-level in 357 cases, they really, really SHINE out of the carbine for "bunny-gun" chores and shoot well enough out of 3" revolvers to use for small game and furry, four-legged varmints/vermin.
I cast up nearly half a gallon of them and have been shooting them TL'd and unsized, but also PC'd a handful for suppressor use. I've been shooting a lot of them.
Next, I will try a stepped-up load and try them in the revolvers as potential SD loads. They do work just fine with speed strips, and this is how I charge the Contender carbine, with every other space in the strip holding a cartridge. For the five-shot revolvers, I use seven-shot strips with two cartridges, empty space, two cartridges, empty space,and then one cartridge. They load just fine and the PC'd ones slip in especially easily.
I'm having fun with them, if nothing else.
