Dardas bullets

For kicking around ranch and woods roaming type stuff I really like a SWC for my M36. It is more accurate as the range stretches and still hits critters pretty hard. The little J frames can be surprisingly accurate over longish distances, and I find it really hard to pass a shot at a coyote even out at 75 to 100 yards. I use Lyman 358156 or 358421 over a snort of 700X and can make a coffee can dance out around the 100yd mark.
As a side note I once shot a big spruce chicken 4 times with WW midrange wadcutters out of a 4-5/8" blackhawk, drew feathers every shot but couldn't knock him off that limb. Likely not square hits but a comical sight nonetheless!

Never tried Dardas' wadcutters, but being that he's here in Michigan and his products are widely available on the shelf here, I've sent a lot of his stuff downrange. I agree that they seem a touch harder than necessary for most hand gunning, but I've not noticed any leading issues with them.

2.3 grains of Clays is perfect for paper targets, small game hunting, and is very easy to shoot in J Frame BUGs.
