Question about .38 Wadcutters

I noticed these are .360 in diameter and the lead cast bullets I have been loading are .358 in diameter. I assume they work splendidly since they are so popular, but why the larger size?

I have been buying from Missouri Bullet Company and they sell cast .357 diameter bullets "for match barrels" so the implication is a perfectly sized bullet would be better than one which was oversized.

With the highly recommended HEWC from Midway out of stock, I was going to go with Missouri Bullet Company's coated DEWC:


PPC #2 - Hi-Tek


.358 Diameter
.38 Special
148 Grain DEWC-BB
Brinell 12
For PPC Velocity
Hi-Tek 2-Extreme Coating from J&M Specialized Products P/L
Color may vary
Price per box of 500
Price: $40.00

I'd appreciate thoughts or even better, experiences with this bullet.
