.38 special 148 gr plated wadcutter: 3.3 gr of TiteGroup
|
I'm curious if this is a hollow base wadcutter, or a bevel base? Also, what brand specifically.
I've loaded a lot of 148 plated DEWC's ("Double-Ended WadCutter" - it's a bevel base variety that can be inserted into the case either way). Mine are Rainer brand - a now defunct company; and, when the went defunct, I called Midway, asked how many they had in stock, and purchased their entire stash - I like them that much. It is my most used bullet. I digress . . .
When I was loading them with TiteGroup, I settled on 3.2 grains - so you're right in the ballpark (unless they're hollow based; in which case, I'd recommend taming them a tad). I did load them as "hot" (relative) as 3.4 grains, but settled on 3.2 as my set charge weight. So you're right there. Well done.
