This is one long running thread!

I've taken to running hot loaded full wadcutters out of my J Frame. I back it up with older lswchp loads, simply due to the wadcutters profile being somewhat prone to being difficult to speed reload.

I'm not a scientist so I've done no scientific research, but in shooting a whole bunch of critters with handguns, I've observed that large meplats tend to put the smack down on stuff better that ball,rnl, and some hollow points, which quite often fail to expand.

There is good reason why the most experienced handgun hunters I know tend to favor large meplat, heavy for caliber projectiles.

I've also read a bit of Doc GKRs research on the subject, and his testing tends to parallel my field observations.

A belated happy Easter to y'all.
