I want to try and get my distinguished Revolver Badge and have I missed something here? When I read the rules they state 158 grain bullet in either a Round Nose or SWC profile but in several post here people talk about 147 grain full wadcutter’s are what they are shooting. Help me out

Pretty sure you can't shoot full wadcutter in distinguished.

148gr HBWC are typically used by people who shoot 38 for centerfire matches (Model 52 and 38 1911 especially). Fun to shoot with a revolver too though.
