Reviewer: .38 WC
I own a 1911A1 .38 WC made late '60s. I have shot about 50 of these and have had zero problems. There is a nice kick to them, but I can put them on target time after time at 100 feet. I plan on getting more of them. If anyone wants to sell theirs to me, I'm interested.

Reviewer: plexman
I have the same problem as reviewer Wilson who says your Bitterroot 38 special, 148 grain, Wad Cutter won't fit into the magazine. It is about 1/16 inch too long with lead standing up above the casing rather than flush with the top of the casing. My 38 is a 60's vintage and the magazine requires a load that is almost flush with the top of the casing. Does anyone at Cheap As Dirt, at Bitterroot or a gun enthusiast out there know where I can get a 38 Special Wad Cutter that will meet my needs. I'll have to lock this beautiful gun in the closet if I can't find some Ammo to fit. Thanks, Plexman

Reviewer: Wilson
Having grown up in Missoula (Bitterroot valley of MT), I had high hopes for this ammo - especially since it said "years of experience with guns like the S&W Model 52". Well, a bit of a let down - these won't load into my S&W M52 magazine - the OAL is too long. The bullet protrudes beyond the brass by about 1/8" - too much for the M52 which requires a flush bullet. I'm going to try to seat these deeper with my reloading kit, but I'm not sure what the crimp will do to the bullet as I push them deeper. Otherwise, I have 500 rounds that I'll have to work through in single shot fashion - which doesn't bode well for timed or rapid fire competition......

Reviewer: Hammy
I bought a box of Remington .38 special +p 125 gr sjhp, a box each of Bitterroot Valley .357 mag 158 gr swc and jhp (which both had nickel Fiocchi casings), and a box of these and went to the range with my new stainless Taurus 617 (4/5 stars for the gun by the way, no buyers remorse). I was shooting the .357 and +p first and did about 20 of each each kind and the gun wasn't too bad as far as cleanliness goes. I then throw some of these in and one of my friends shortly thereafter asked if they were black powder rounds, so there is a definite difference with smoke production from the other 3 kinds of ammo I was using. The gun looked like what I imagine it would have if I had shot the rest of the .357 and p+ ammo out of it after only 14 rounds of this stuff. So 14 rounds of this ammo LOOKED almost as dirty as 100-150 rounds of slightly more expensive ammo, but cleaning it wasn't too bad. If you're shooting on a budget these aren't too bad but I'm sure you can find something not far off in price with a significant reduction in smoke production.

Reviewer: Brady
These are dirty rounds over charged for wadcutters, kicked like a mule in my SW J frame. Had to turn on the fan at the range, because I began to choke in the still air on the lingering cloud of smoke from these bullets. I bought 4 boxes traded 2 boxes off.....Cleaned pistol which had been blackened along with my hands...pass these up.
2.0 Rating Dirty Ammo - 4/19/2011.38 Special BVAC 148 Grain Wad Cutter 875 fps 50 Round Box Target and Plinking Ammunition2.0000
Reviewer: Anon68
Dirty, dirty, dirty...but accuracy was surprisingly good for wad cutters. Moreover, I did experience misfires...approximately 6 rounds (out of 250) that simply didn't fire. I shoot .38's from a S&W 686+ so misfires are a rarity. My thought is that these are good for cheep ammo in outdoor settings. Otherwise, find something else.
5.0 Rating Good Range Ammo - 4/13/2011.38 Special BVAC 148 Grain Wad Cutter 875 fps 50 Round Box Target and Plinking Ammunition5.0000
Reviewer: Stephen S
Went to the range with 100 rounds, every single one went bang. Punched clean holes, like it should. A little smokey, but considering the fact that I was indoors and fired 100 rounds that night, why wouldn't it be?
5.0 Rating Good Practice Ammo - 3/7/2011.38 Special BVAC 148 Grain Wad Cutter 875 fps 50 Round Box Target and Plinking Ammunition5.0000
Reviewer: Junior9mm
Went to the range today, my wife and I shot about 100 rounds of this ammo. We found it to be accurate and very reliable. No problems at all in a Charter Arms Undercover. It was clean ammo, gun was not filthy as when using other low cost practice ammo. It's priced right and will definitely buy some more. Thanks BVAC.
