I've been buying .38 wadcutters that have a couple of grooves around the circumference filled with lubrication. Alas, I'm suddenly having trouble finding bullets in Fairbanks - the store I used closed, and there isn't another good choice. Looking on Midway USA, I see wadcutters with no groove for lubrication. Not sure whether this is necessary or not. Must bullets be lubricated? (Rainier LeadSafe Bullets 38 Caliber (357 Diameter) 148 Grain Plated Double-Ended Wadcutter Box of 1000) Would I somehow lubricate a bullet with no lubrication in the groove or no groove to fill? Also, anyone know a supplier that will ship bullets inexpensively to Alaska?! Shipping is gonna hurt!
