I don't know if this is what Wayne was talking about. I think I saw them mentioned by Mark Fricke on some social media group or other.
I ordered and received 100 rounds. Haven't shot them yet.

Not affiliated with, FWIW Precision One out of Charleston, SC makes some 148gr copper plated wadcutters that shoot awesome. Soft and accurate. Might be the ticket for those in need of some.
They look pretty much like standard swaged wadcutters, can't tell if they're solid or hollow-base. 750 fps is about normal velocity from a 6" barrel. If that velocity is from a 4" or shorter barrel, they'd sure pique my interest.
Just the fact that they're available is a good thing.

I was looking at that, too. And $2 cheaper than the GA. I'm glad to see that some here have had good luck with it. No worries about leading is a plus.

I bought a few hundred of those for a revolver class that was supposed to take place in 2020. Glad it didn't because the GA wadcutters shot so low at 25yds they were useless (same gun with my own wadcutters shot to POA). This was in a fixed sight snubnose. They were better, but still low, out of a 6" gun. I never chrono'd them, but based on how they shot in terms of POI and recoil, I'd wager they were in the 600s.
That wasn't the first time I was disappointed with GA ammo, but it'll be the last.

How does that compare to Fiocchi? Fiocchi hits close to the sights for me.
