FWIW, the S&B leaded bad, in a 640-1, the one box I tried a few years ago. Not as bad as PPU WC's, mind you... granted that is all dependant on throats etc that vary revolver to revolver...

Good info. I've never used them, I just saw that they were available.

Last time I bought Wadcutters was about a year ago from Federal’s website for Gold Medal Match and it was just over a dollar per round. I only got it for my 642.
Glad I cast and reload my own.
I put the Compact Lett grips on my 6 shot blued GP100. I can't explain why but it changes the feel of the entire gun and makes it feel more like a K-frame, or at least something noticeably handier. I'm sure it will be a detriment to performance using full power Magnum, but I really do like the way it feels and my finger placement seemingly is a bit more optimal. I have the Hogue Tamer grips on the way for my 7-shot stainless.
Those grips change both the handling AND the looks to a remarkable degree.I put the Compact Lett grips on my 6 shot blued GP100.

For a long time I figured that if the full size GP-100 factory rubber grip left me cold, so would the compact. I wuz wrong.

Here are the results I got from ammoseek.com using .38 Special and 148 grains as the search criteria. Not all of them are wadcutters; the S&B have been outed as leading, the Fiocchi have been chronographed at ~500 fps, so I'd avoid them. Some of the choices are 148 grains but not wadcutters.
R-P is the only "major" manufacturer on their list. It's one of the two choices for best quality stuff, the other being Federal. They're ~$32/box of 50 plus shipping depending on where you get them from. I recently got a box of the current production stuff and it chronographed 673 fps with an SD of 8 from my M49, a little bit slower than the Federal but with a similar SD. So the good stuff's out there, you just have to look.

TMJ and if I remember correctly, about 870fps. I only fired one round through the chrono.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
