Overview
Built for revolver and pistol reloaders who want a traditional lead bullet option, this 148-grain hollow base wadcutter is aimed at cowboy-action style shooting and other applications where SASS-spec ammunition is the goal. The bullets are pre-lubricated and cold-swaged for uniformity, with knurling designed to help keep lubricant on the bearing surface. As with any reloading component, load data should be verified in a reloading manual or with the powder manufacturer before use.
