Thanks to some of you I now know what was cutters are. Thank you. But now I'm curious will these mess up the bore in my gun. Will they harm my 38 at all. Or is it safe to shoot this type ammo.

Question

James G. · Answer

Douglas, it is perfectly safe to shoot in any 357/38 Special revolver. Cheers and stay safe!

Paul F. · Answer

Factory wadcutters offer reliable ignition and operation in a revolver. In fact, the abbreviated power of a 148 grain wadcutter might conceivably offer a greater level of mechanical reliability than a high-pressure round that abuses the gun with greater force (causing problems like timing issues or endshake) and increases the risk of primer flow, bullet pull, internal lock engagement, or sticky extraction.
