A true .38 Spec. wadcutter bullet is 148 gr., hollow base or double ended, +/- 2.5 gr. of Bullseye and is not intended for longer range accuracy, although no doubt there are those who claim it to be the ideal 100 yd. deer cartridge. The importance of wadcutter-designed brass is an overblown controversy that has existed far too long and which had little to no validity to start with.
