Can someone explain the advantage or disadvantage of a truncated bullet? I found the Fiochi ad about the 357 142gr FMJTC round. Never shot any of it and would like to know about this type of bullet. |

Quoted: Truncated cone is a compromise between a wadcutter, which makes nice round holes for target shooting, and a round-nose bullet, which feeds better. They're also sometimes called semi wadcutters (SWC). So I can assume that they are good for range use and no advantage to self defense. |
