I haven't shot any of those swaged semi wadcutters in years but back when I did they leaded the bore terribly when pushed much over 850 fps. In fact, they were the reason I began casting bullets for handguns. The want I had to drive a lead SWC to 1,000+ fps required a hard cast slug.


I've heard they can foul pretty bad. Even speer says not to load them over 1000fps. I'll try for 900 and see how they do. I'm hoping to find a window where they are going fast enough to expand but not leading the bore like crazy. I'll get them to 900 fps and see how they do on milk jugs. I've got a few thousand I need to use up. If I have to ill slow them down and just plink with them.
