I've been loading Wad-Cutters in my .357 Security-Six for decades now. From the hollow base target rounds to the FMJ DEWC at max speeds. The latter is just nasty when it hits something wet and soft. It tumbles instantly as you cannot compress a liquid ( more than 1/10th of one percent) and the damage done is impressive when it hits bone.
I do like the hollow base WC's for their impressive accuracy. As with the Mine Ball, the skirt expands to seal the bore an obdurate into the rifling.
You can however, use too much powder and blow the skirt out and have no accuracy at all.
I have a 1911 pistol in .38 Special and using the HBWC bullets,have won many matches over the years for "Mid-Range" legs of the match.
I only use Bullseye powder for my lead wad cutters.
