Sounds odd - 'course you knew that.
You are shooting the exact load I use for WCs - Speer/Hornady HBWC, 2.7 grs Bullseye, any .38 case/any small pistol primer, crimp just enough to hold bullets under recoil = pretty light ....
But I don't understand this: "The tip of the bullet was slightly longer than the case." & this after saying that the bullet was seated just under flush ....
Belling "too much" wouldn't have any effect as that's removed when crimping - worse case would be problems chambering - same for way too much crimp causing partial case collapse.
This IS a very accurate load & should shoot very well. Something, but beats me from your description, ain't right.
Too good a load not to find out what's going on here ....
