With a handgun capable of that kind of accuracy, we can talk cartridges and bullets. The old standby grain lead RN factory load comes close to perfection. The velocity is just right, and the gentle tip design of the bullet will not damage too much edible meat. Anything with "Magnum" appended to the name will work, but the extra velocity of magnum ammunition will tear up a lot of good usable meat on small-game animals.
If accurate enough, yes. A slab-sided semiauto pistol can be much easier to carry than many revolvers. An accurate 9mm pistol loaded with a grain FMJ bullet is spot-on for small game. The heavier bullet is quite accurate in many pistols, and the muzzle velocity is under 1, fps. As velocity increases, so can meat damage.
Can I buy factory small-game ammo for my big-game rifle if I'm not a handloader? The short answer: no. There are some "reduced recoil" loads available, but their velocities are usually over 2, fps, well beyond the 1, to 1, fps zone where excessive tissue shredding enters the discussion.
Can I make reduced small-game handloads for any centerfire cartridge I use? Some popular centerfire hunting cartridges have too much case capacity to create ballistically consistent small-game loads. You could suffer a bullet-in-bore condition that could spell the end of a hunt. A general rule of thumb is that decent small-game handloads will be hard to achieve if case capacities are greater than the. The 9mm Luger with a Gr. FMJ is ideal for small game when fired through an accurate pistol.
The heavier bullet can be very accurate in many pistols. That depends on velocity. If you are trying to stay around 1, fps, try a lubricated cast lead bullet. A roundnose design will be easier on the meat than a flatnose, even at modest velocities. With jacketed bullets, strive for around 1, fps to minimize chances of the hard jacket acting like brakes and stopping the bullet in the bore.
Classic cast bullet reloading manuals are great resources even if you are lightloading a jacketed bullet. The propellants recommended are commonly the fast-to-medium-burning rate fuels that are most appropriate to modest velocities. The lightest bullet I have is a gr double ended wadcutter. These are accurate and mild shooting out of my.
It is merely the difference between murder and suicide. Ayn Rand. I have thought about that 95grainer before but haven't bit on one yet. Same with their gr. I run the in a light plate load with 3. Haven't blowed up any tiny critters with that load though.
Thinking I may go to Titan and Midway to price check and order that mold and the The old. Exactly meets all the specifications you listed. As above but 3. I agree with the wadcutter cartel as I always keep several hundred ready to go for hunting or Grandkids. With the former shortage of 22's I wasn't worried as wadcutters kept us shooting and entertained. As a matter of fact I just cast up 2 one-pound coffee cans full so will be ready to load as soon as the BLL dries. The Lyman casts a hair over so no resizing necessary, just lube, load and shoot, repeat as needed.
I run 4 grs of bullseye wit a gr double end wadcutter. This works like a champ, the hares are really tough up here. Good luck. I think any of these wad cutters would work for what you are wanting to do.
The one on the far right Lyman weighs from my mold grs cast out of ACWW and will shoot in side of 2 inches at 25 yards from my Early results with 4. Again the centerfires come into their own with cast bullets and perhaps somewhat reduced loads, depending on what you intend to hunt, and with which caliber. The 38 Special has considerably more than the minimum necessary power for small game, even shooting "powder-puff" wadcutter loads.
Of course, unless you have your ammo supply or components already in stock, we are just whistling in the wind, good luck finding any 38 Special ammo at all, I got a couple of boxes of grain lead RN ammo a few weeks ago, otherwise nada.
