38 wadcutters and.......moonclips?!

[Lou_the_welder]

Anyone every tried them? 8 shot ? Kinda like dropping hot spaghetti in the 8 charge holes at once.
Observations.?( yes. 38 short colts do have them beat . But kinda digging the accuracy and 38 cal hole puncher ) big clean holes.
Since speed wasn't a factor, shooting bullseye. All I did was sit the wadcutter moonclip on the cylinder and wiggle with my wrist on the grip. They all inserted like that. But willing to hear any hints that anyone has tried.
I know , I know. Moonclips with wadcutters feel like "square peg round hole" type of a moment.
But was getting amazing hits!!

I once tried using 38 HBWC with speed loaders. Talk about frustration.

I found a picture that I don't remember taking with some plated ones. I don't remember them being more accurate than the .358" that I'm using now. Those are very accurate. But I guess sometimes it depends on the gun.
I think it would be worse with a speedloader.


The ones I'm making now, from my past " 38 wadcutter " thread are around 1.180" ( I think)

And look like these.




They have a tiny head peaking out, and somewhat helps.

That is the common load for PPC Competition and you will reload twenty times or so in a Match of 150 rounds.

Revolver Guy dot com has some great advice.

Moon clips are so 1917. Speed loaders like those pictured have been doing a great job for 50 years or so.
