What is a Wadcutter Bullet?
A wadcutter bullet is a handgun bullet with a completely flat face. In loaded ammunition, for example, a .38 Special wadcutter will have the bullet flush with the case mouth. This special ammo was originally designed for target shooting. The flat face of the bullet makes a much cleaner hole when passing through a paper target when compared to a bullet with a conical face, like a full metal jacket. This is a big deal in competitive shooting, where accuracy is key.

No lead is left exposed.
