My friend came over today and had two different wadcutters his father loaded with Unique. I have steel targets at 100 yd's and he wanted to shoot at them. I told him that everyone says they go to pot in a short distance (With a wink, of course.) He laughed too. :-D
Most of you know I like the WLN and WFN boolits for any distance but these even surprised me. We shot almost 100 rounds at the steel chicken at 100 yd's and almost never missed it. It was hard with open sights because we had to aim at the top of the chicken, blotting it unless we kept both eyes open. But to clang steel shot after shot makes me wonder where the myth came from! [smilie=1:
I have to tell you his father did not do too good of a job seating the boolits either. Some were so crooked, they would not chamber because of a bulge in the brass on one side. But if they would go in, steel would clang.
I have a new appreciation of the lowly wadcutter! :Fire:
