500 Rounds of 148gr Wadcutter .38 Spl Ammo by Winchester

This isn’t just any old 38 Special target ammunition. It is 38 Special target ammunition: specifically designed to show you how tightly you can group your shots with a revolver.

The wadcutter isn’t nearly as common as the LRN or FMJ. It has the same side profile as a soup can, with a flat face and a concave base. The front of the wadcutter is shaped like the tip of a hole punch – and it does the same thing as the tip of a hole punch when it touches a hanging target. Such clean holes really make it easy to tell exactly where you’re putting your lead. The wadcutter’s hollow base serves two purposes: improving the bullet’s alignment with the bore axis, which improves accuracy, and distributing more of the bullet’s weight toward its nose, which promotes accuracy also.

This particular round’s powder charge is light, and only gives the 148 grain bullet a 710 fps muzzle velocity because of it. That pays off in the form of less recoil. You’re really in for smooth sailing if you load this ammo in a 357 Magnum revolver! Winchester Super-X ammo is loaded with new reloadable brass.
