I can't be alone loving wadcutters. Who else is a fan? For target shooting, you just have to love the clean holes they punch. Today, a lot of shooters have never seen then; they've never seen a bullet fully contained in the brass casing.
To me, the classic wadcutter is the 148 grain hollow-base for 38 special. Just a dab of powder is required, like 2.6 grains of Winchester Super Target (WST). That's good for about 700fps, the sweet spot of that cartridge.
To launch them, you could do worse than an old Smith&Wesson Model 14... Mine is a dash-2.
Don't you just love these holes?
