In 50+ years of handloading, never had use for a WC. They are not speed loader friendly and I don't compete in Bullseye matches.
Then you have no use for them.
Yup I did that to my 14-3 with 8 inch barrel. Made a mistake and had powder measure set for Lee trashcan wad cutter when loading some Campro copper plated HBWC. It only took 2 grains more of Bullseye and happened after second shot.A good way to ring your barrel!
I classify them like this.Heck SWCs are not speedloader friendly either. Truncated or RF would be the way to go there.
LOL, yep.I classify them like this.
RF or TC ammo in speedloaders for revolver = "Just fall in"
SWC ammo in speedloaders for revolver = "wiggle it and they fall in"
WC ammo in speedloaders for revolver = "get out the damn reading glasses to align them MFers"
Why is it critical that self defense rounds work with a speed loader ?

It's not. But in the mind of the mall ninja, he'll be fighting off hoards of mutant zombie bikers...Why is it critical that self defense rounds work with a speed loader ?

As an aside here...Starline 38 Special brass IS wadcutter brass.Avoiding the need for wc cases and wanting +p loads
Not much controversy there. The S&W model 52 required flush seated WC’s, so they get a pass. As for revolvers, there are lots of options. I tend to use a type II wadcutter that has a driving band outside the case, like a H&G #50, so nothing shocking there either.Here, let me throw another stick on the fire. I have never, ever understood the theory that a wad cutter MUST be loaded so the case mouth and face of the bullet are at the same depth. I've loaded a lot of WC's out a good long ways and they were just as, if not more accurate than the traditional method.
Any thoughts?
