Wolf HBWC ammo.... what's it like?

[Rusty_]

I'm a new shooter and I've never used any Wolf ammo before or wadcutter...

What's the Hallow Base Wadcutter stuff like? Does it perform well? It looks so weird

Will I not notice a difference in my 686 or will I not like it? Or does it not matter because I'm just shooting at paper?

Should give you nice clean holes in the paper targets. Easy to see from a distance and close up. Performance depends on load. I have had good experience with Wolf in 9mm.

Happy shooting!

Edit: Don't try them in your lever gun

I don't have one, but why not?

I don't have one, but why not?

1. The loading process often relies on a "pointy/rounded/angled" tip to help direct the round into the chamber.

2. Get a lever gun!

makes sense. One of these days I will! Though, it'll probably be a 30-30.

Have not seen too many 30-30 rounds loaded up with wad cutters so you should be good

I've used a fair bit of this ammo in a S&W K-38 Masterpiece and a 586. Seems to work well (and I like the perfect circles they punch in the paper.)

I will be ordering a couple of K's of this ammo made by Wolf, i bought 500 lately from SFRC and i am only shooting that from now on, in my S&W 627, SP 101 and Bonds, great ammo, sooo accurate... JP.

Of the 1000's and 1000's of rounds of 38 i've loaded by far the most accurate has been loads using 148 gn full wadcutters. I've only used hollow based ones a couple of times as they are not always easy to find any more as components, but when i could they always seemed a bit better then the standard double ended wadcutter. As long as they aren't loaded too hot they shoot like a dream

148 gr HBWC (plated) is all I shoot in my Smith 14-4 and Ruger Blackhawk as said it shoots like a dream with a light target load

 

[Cocked&Locked]

where do you find HBWC plated? I'd love to get my greedy paws on a few K of those!

budget shooter has plated ones listed, as well as lead HBWC's but he is closed right now.

148gr HBWC's are the most accurate ammo i have, loaded on top of 2.8gr of bullseye is as good as it gets. very low recoil, clean holes and super accurate.
