Wadcutter is a description of the type of bullet, similar to 'full metal jacket', 'hollow point'... Wadcutters are usually lead cast without a copper jacket, they have a completely flat top. More often you will find 'semi-wadcutters', they are angled then come to a flat point that is about half the total diameter.

Should you shoot lead bullets in your s and w model 22a1?
I do not see why not?I have been shooting lead bullets out of all my handguns for years.As a matter of fact I have never shot anything but cast bullets from my 2 .38 special handguns,A colt police positive 4in.that was my grandfathers,and a fine Smith and Wesson model 12,4in.Both love a 158gr.semi wadcutter behind 4.0grs of tight group powder.I have also been shooting a 240gr semi wadcutter in my smith and Wesson model 21-4.This is in .44 special.The key is not to puch your lead bullets to fast unless they are of a Gas check design.Then the speed of your lead bullets does not matter.As a rule I do not puch a plain base cast bullet faster than 850fps.A gas check design can be pushed as fast as 1400fps if you so desire.
