wondering if anyone has seen these:

i came across them yesterday while browsing and it revived the idea for me. cant help but wonder if its a sign of the times, the result of a lack of available/affordable components. in my browsing over the years I've seen a few people here and there across the web saying " way back when people loaded inverted wadcutters for snubbies because hallowpoints where unreliable, but they cant hit anything more than ten yards away cause they tumble after that, blah blah blah"
I messed around with inverting wadcutters last year after finding a partial box of Winchester HBWC in a local gun shop. it wasn't a serious test, i really just wanted to play around with an old idea and see if it was as bad as they said. so i loaded them over the same charge of red dot i used with my TLWCs, and adjusted the seating die to increase oal and achieve the same seating depth with the longer boolit. using my 4" and 5" s&W k frames, i didn't experience the terrible accuracy that has been reported by internet sources concerning inverted wadcutters. I never used a rest, but i got the same +/-2" groups i always get at 15 yards and the impacts on the dirt pile out at 50 yards were right where they should be. but the best part is expansion. i filled the kitchen trash can up with water in the garage and popped a few rounds into it, perfect .69"-.73" lead mushrooms.
