Well, friend Dale53 hooked me up with a bunch of DEWCs in .314x90 gr. I’m wondering whether it would be worth my while to try and develop a 327 FM load with these bullets. He did hook me up with some reasonably stout 32 H&R rounds with this bullet, but he never warmed up to the Fed Mag.

2.8 grains of Bullseye under a 148 grain H&G 50. Good enough for Daddy, good enough for me.
It’s what I’d use under a DEWC too.

I never feel undergunned with 148 grain full wadcutters. They have a full meplat, so don't really neede to expand. According to ballistic gel tests I have seen, they penetrate to a very good depth(Lucky Gunner). They are easy to shoot and very accurate in my weapons.
The only drawback is the ease of reloading quickly. A different style boolit, such as a round nose or semiwadcutter, would be easier to do a fast reload with.
I carry a cylinder of wadcutters and two speedloaders. One with round nose and the other with SWC. Which I grab depends on how much time I think I have to reload. Not really much difference in reload times in a practical situation.
