One thing I do when loading wadcutters is to seat the bullet out just far enough to get the nose into the chamber throat. That lines the bullet up better for going straight without deformation when fired.

Umm. I do the same thing. With BBWC there is a thin crimp groove just below the shoulder that I use. With HBWC I just roll a crimp into the soft bullet just below the shoulder. I do not know why conventional wisdom says to seat them flush and crimp the shoulder.
Oh, and determan, as a long time, *cough* black powder pistol shooter, *cough* don't worry about *cough* the smoke *cough* at the range.
