While at a gun show we had a gentleman (a bullseye competition shooter) state that he hand casts hollow base wadcutters (HBWC) and he never found a commercially produced wadcutter that shot as good as his bullets. We convinced him to try ours. Below is a letter he sent us along with two targets, his HBWC verses our DEWC.

Your type 1 WC tested by far the best for use in my model 52 S&W. Not only were they more accurate than any solid base WC I tried at 25 yds but nearly equal to the best hollow base that are so hard to find, but were better at 50 yds.

I have been using this cast bullet for about three years now. They perform well at both 25 and 50 Yards with Winchester 231.

Customer service at Stateline bullets is excellent. The bullets are packed so well that it is a fight to get the shipping boxes open. Jim glues the boxes, and tapes the boxes and packs inside the boxes smaller boxes that are sturdy and taped. I can’t imagine any of his packaging failing in transit!

Decided to give wadcutters a try. Wanted some with a low recoil for my Ruger LCR so went with 2 grains of Trail Boss. Super happy with these and just placed a second order.
