Ah, I see. Yeah, once i realized what I had I immediately decided not to run it through the Undercover. Later tonight or tomorrow I'm buzzing over to Academy to grab a box of winchester .38 special.

If I were to buy another snubbie (which is unlikely), it would be a 357. I love the way that number rolls off the tongue. Three fifty seven MAGNUM.

Not sure if I mentioned it in my prior post, but it also occured to me that these rounds could all be someone's reloads. Granted, ammunition of a similar design is going to look, well, similar, but it could very well be that these are all loaded to a mild .38 spec. Only way to tell would be to pull the bullets (not sure how you'd do that with a wadcutter shape) and do some measuring.

Speaking of wadcutters, I hear they're great at making nice round holes in paper, but why are they called 'wadcutters'? I would think 'cookie cutter', 'hole cutter', 'hole saw', etc would be a bit more revealing to it's nature.
