I showed a mystery find yesterday. William K. said he is pretty sure the item that the item I showed yesterday is a 38 caliber wadcutter.
I found a few photos of bullets that looked similar to the one I found. Below is an example, even though it isn't exactly the same. The one shown below is a hollow tip.
l then ooked up "wadcutter." Here is what I learned.
First, recoil is minimal with .38 Special WCs. Second, a full WC not only cuts easy-to-score holes in a bull’s-eye target, they can also serve well in a self-defense situation by delivering the full cross-sectional impact of a .38 caliber bullet.
So wadcutters are good for target shooting and self defense. The reasons are explained in an article I found in GunsMagazine, and I'm pretty sure now that the mystery item is a .38 caliber wadcutter.
Here is the link.

Metal detecting is a very educational activity. You learn about all kinds of things.
Thanks much William.

I may miss a few posts the next several days. I did most of this last night.
Just had a passing in the family, so I'm out.
