I have been using Winchester 148 grain wadcutters. They work great, but are darn expensive. Anyone have experience with the precision delta wadcutters?

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Smoky but accurate as all get out. Heres where I posted about them before and several members bought and were happy with. https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....l=1#post642066Originally Posted by GJM
Here is the first post. https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....l=1#post642002 If you can catch them on sale they are one heck of a deal for practice ammo. LSP972 was the first person who told me about them and he highly recommended them.

Yes, I'm going through a case of them now, and they are quite acceptably accurate and precise in a recently-acquired Ruger LCR and in Airweight J-frames. (I need to test them in steel and AirLight J-frames too, not just the Airweights, but haven't gotten around to it yet.)
Happily, they shoot to POA thus far, and of course have little felt recoil. They're also pretty clean. I consider them a relative bargain at the price offered.

And while the sun and moon endure, Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman
Yeah, smoky compared to the federal match wadcutters. Also they chrono'd almost 100fps slower than the federals from my 6". But for the price and up close practice with a J frame they are just fine though. Compared to their "new" match wadcutters, the reloads do not use federal primers if that matters to you.

I'll concur on the smoky. Accuracy seems to be within my current skill set. However I bought them on the recommendation that they'd be softer shooting than 125gr or 158gr jacketed boolits. In that regards I'm wholly disappointed.
My apologies for that. I felt them softer than the Federals I carry. Have you found something softer in the recoil department? Your post made me realize I posted incorrectly before what about Steve called bunny fart loads. I am trying to find that post with formula but not having any luck.I did find a good thread about wadcutters which I have now now saved and here is the tidbit from Steve in that thread about QC in reloaded ammo QC. https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....l=1#post506773 Miss that guy for sure.

Not a straight wadcutter but I recently got a .38 and can't stop shooting SWCs.
158 gr SWC (Bayou) over 3.5 Titegroup. ~1.5" rested at 15 yards out of a 4" 686. Titegroup runs like water through the 550. Accurate and super soft. Doesn't make PF but that's not what I use it for.

I have not shot the PD loaded ammo, but I have been pretty happy with my results using their 148gr WC in my own handloads. They shipped promptly, and I'd order from them again without reservation. I did find a few bullets that were slightly deformed when swaging (underfilled?), but it was single digits in a 1000 round case.
If you are just looking for a cheaper practice WC load there is this available right now: http://www.sgammo.com/product/38-spe...r-fiocchi-38la
It's not quite as cheap as the PD remanufactured stuff, but a bit cheaper than Win/Fed WC loads.
CCI/Speer makes an aluminum cased Blazer WC load, and SG Ammo had it for near 9mm prices a couple years ago, but I have not seen it available anywhere recently. I think they only do small runs at long intervals.
I bought a case on sale for my Ruger Match Champion. Smoky as hell (don't shoot indoors) and precision is meh...I'll look something else.
Anybody try their PDP Pro version ?

Check out the wadcutters from Georgia Arms. They are currently out of stock but they usually get back in stock in quick order.
