I picked up a box of 148 grain Hornady Hollow Base Wadcutter bullets to try. My understanding is these are primarily target bullets and have some applications for varmints as well, according to the Hornady information. There were some Berrys available too but I felt like these might be better for developing my target/precision load. Are my assumptions on this incorrect?
Velocity in the load data I have for 357 Magnum runs at or just under 1000 fps. Combined with the soup can shape, does this limit the accurate range of these types of bullets?
Finally, I notice the trim length and COAL are basically the same. Is that right? Do I just pushed them all the way down and crimp over the end/top of the projectile? I have a couple other things to finish before I start working with these but I plan to have some loaded up by this weekend for testing.
