Bingo, but my mould doesn't cast hollow bases.
Personally, I feel the wadcutter at suitable velocity would be an excellent defensive bullet.
I despise casting hollow bases anyway. At least before the end of the world, Hornady's swaged 148s were affordable enough to keep me from firing up the furnace.
I see that Buffalo Bore is still touting their .38 wadcutter load for self defense. I haven't shot anyone with it so don't know for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me to learn that it works.
