Southla1, thanks for the tip. When I tried loading the Magnus cast 148 grain BBWC for the S&W 52, I could not get the bullet deep enough in the case to feed in the magazine (without crushing the case mouth) due to the little nub on the top of the bullet. I guess I can try reversing the bullet, but other, more experienced bullseye shooters tell me they are unable to get the same level of accuracy from their 52s using cast bullets as they do from swaged HBWCs.
