Lost River sent me some wadcutters, stand up guy. Got my little lcr, waiting on the holster but after that I'm gonna run it through its paces. Had a bad gun tinkering night and buggered the roll pil for the front sight and vent my 1/16 so I have another 1/16 on the way

I dont know if you’ve read Doc’s post on 38 ammo. Going higher velocity than standard velocity wc doesnt gain you anything other than additional recoil. Bullet over penetration as well as a danger to those down range is a consideration.

When faced with too little penetration, as is common with lightweight .38 Sp JHP loads or too much penetration like with the wadcutters, then go with penetration. Agencies around here have used the Winchester 148 gr standard pressure lead target wadcutter (X38SMRP), as well as the Federal (GM38A) version--both work. A sharper edged wadcutter would even be better... Dr. Fackler has written in Fackler ML: "The Full Wadcutter--An Extremely Effective Bullet Design", Wound Ballistics Review. 4(2):6-7, Fall 1999)
"As a surgeon by profession, I am impressed by bullets with a cutting action (eg. Winchester Talon and Remington Golden Saber). Cutting is many times more efficient at disrupting tissue than the crushing mechanism by which ordinary bullets produce the hole through which they penetrate. The secret to the increased efficiency of the full wadcutter bullet is the cutting action of its sharp circumferential leading edge. Actually, cutting is simply very localized crush; by decreasing the area over which a given force is spread, we can greatly increase the magnitude to the amount of force delivered per unit are--which is a fancy way of saying that sharp knives cut a lot better than dull ones. As a result, the calculation of forces on tissue during penetration underestimate the true effectiveness of the wadcutter bullet relative to other shapes."

It was mentioned in the other thread that target wad cutters perform the same in bare gel vs. 4-layer denim. How well do they work through auto glass? Do they have enough velocity to reliably penetrate and track straight(ish)?
