The Remington Performance WheelGun 38 Special 148gr Target Master delivers precision-engineered wad cutter ammunition specifically designed for competitive target shooting and training applications. This cartridge produces clean, round holes in paper targets that scoring officials can easily measure, eliminating the guesswork common with round-nose projectiles.
What Makes This Different
The 148-grain lead wad cutter bullet features a flat-nose design that cuts precise holes through paper targets rather than tearing irregular openings. Standard velocity loading reduces felt recoil compared to full-power defensive rounds, allowing shooters to maintain sight alignment through rapid-fire strings. The consistent powder charge and quality control standards ensure shot-to-shot velocity variations remain minimal for predictable point of impact.
Key Features
- 148-grain lead wad cutter bullet cuts clean scoring rings in paper targets
- Standard velocity reduces muzzle flip and felt recoil for faster follow-up shots
- Boxer-primed brass cases enable easy reloading for cost-conscious shooters
- Factory-loaded consistency eliminates powder measuring and bullet seating variables
- Compatible with all 38 Special and 357 Magnum revolvers and carbines
- 50-round boxes provide convenient range quantities for practice sessions
- Non-corrosive primers protect firearm components during storage
Bullseye competitors and recreational target shooters rely on wad cutter ammunition for its superior scoring accuracy and reduced cost compared to jacketed bullets. The flat-nose profile transfers maximum energy to steel reactive targets while producing minimal lead fouling in revolver forcing cones. Indoor ranges often prefer wad cutter loads because the heavier bullet weight reduces ricochet potential compared to lighter, faster projectiles.
