That does work with full wadcutters. The cartridges won't chamber in a .38 Special unless maybe you hammer them in. Has nothing to do with the front of the bullet sticking out the cylinder.

Actually, it does not ALWAYS work with full wadcutters to prevent chambering in .38 Special guns. IF your chamber throats are 0.358" instead of 0.357", you can seat any lead bullet, including full wadcutters, out to the point wherre their noses are flush with the cylinder face and shoot them. So, it is gun-dependent.
In fact, some of the old black powder revolvers chambered for the "38" caliber bullets that were outside-lubricated, heeled bullets will chamber 357 Magnum rounds. And those magnum rounds are sure to blow-up those old guns.
