Absolutely. It's hard cast, so that large, flat, square shouldered, meplat is retained as it's driving through flesh and bone, and since it doesn't expand, lots of energy remains to drive it deep. It's an excellent choice for a snub nose .38 Special.

I carry that load in my S&W Bodyguard.
"Allways speak the truth and you will never have to remember what you said before..." Sam Houston Texans, "We say Grace, We Say Mam, If You Don't Like it, We Don't Give a Damn!"
A couple years ago a small local police department here got information a suspect wanted in a shooting incident was holed up in a house in their jurisdiction. They rolled up in front of the house and the shooter popped two shots from a 2" Taurus .38 through a window at them. I happened to be there for a public relations gig for a fall festival and heard the shots just up the street. I responded to assist. After the thing was over one of the local officers commented that the shooters gun "Only had target wadcutters in it. Thank goodness for that!" One of those .38 wadcutters went through the front glass window of the house, through the side window of a Crown Vic and buried up in the passenger front seat head rest. Thank goodness there wasn't a passenger in that car.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
I've often wondered what a warmly loaded wad cutter would do on game.

The BB load is 850 fps. Not too much of a good thing in my estimation. Here's a blurb from the BB website about the load-
utilizes a very hard cast 150gr. WAD CUTTER bullet. The bullet is made hard, so it won't deform or mushroom. It cuts/crushes a "cookie cutter", full diameter hole in human flesh just like it does on a paper target. It penetrates deeply (roughly 14 to 16 inches in human tissue) and its full diameter profile maximizes blood loss as it cuts and crushes (not slips or slides) its way through tissue. Although I've never been shot with a full profile wad cutter bullet, I must assume that the initial impact of that wide flat nosed bullet, is crushingly formidable. As a teenager, I took to the woods on a regular basis and killed many a critter with heavily loaded 38SPL wad cutters'. The effect of a full profile wad cutter on small game was obvious and amazing, compared to regular round nosed bullets. That flat nose, literally hammers living things. These bullets are hard and properly lubed and will NOT lead your barrel. Note my velocities from real world "over the counter" revolver s- NOT TEST BARRELS!
