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.

In 357 cases, I found 3.2 grains of Bullseye gave the best accuracy with the bullets seated out this way. That seems consistent with the best accuracy at 3.1 grains that Jibjab reported with the bullets seated flush in 357 cases and the best accuracy at 2.7 to 2.8 grains in 38 Special cases that TexasSeaRay reported.
