..for a defenseive load, it would be an LSWHP. There are just too many top performing bullets for me to use something that was designed for target shooting. Sure, a wadcutter will work, but I could sand down and cut a 3/8" brass rod into lengths that weighed around 125 to 150 grains and show that they would 'work' for self defense, but it doesn't mean that they will outperform better defensive ammo that has been thoroughly tested and used in the field. My sister has a swell mod 60 .38 that she has for self defense that she kept loaded with wadcutters because that's all she had and never looked for 'real' defensive ammo. I told her that 'Yes', they would 'work', but fixed her up with some Hornady Critical Defense rounds that I had laying around.
