Loading Wadcutters (.38)

I am about to order some lead wadcutters and try loading them on my Dillon 550.

I am looking for any comments or suggestions for this bullet style loaded in
.38 Special.

148 gr?
158 gr?

Hollowbase?
Bevelbase?

Load flush or load to groove?

roll or tapper crimp?


What brand such as Speer, Remington, etc. I hear Remington is coated, not too messy to load, does not burn off when fired, and very accurate.

Hornandy may have the silver wax type coatings etc.

I have a Dillon bullet seater die to allow easy clean-out of any grease buildup.


I want to load these for sharp edge paper punching out to about 25 yds. Also for general plinking etc. in several models of revolvers.

I have loaded many semi-wadcutters. want to give the full cutters a try for informal match shooting etc.

I am more interested in the above questions and not so much powder and load charges at this time. My first goal is to order some WC bullets while I can still afford them.

Any thoughts would be great!
