.38 spl full wadcutter for S&W 52-2
I have two versions of .38 spl Double Ended Wadcutter bullets
148 Hard Cast Lead - two lube rings wax filled ( They are "Zero" brand ) One is full flat on the business end and The other has a "Little Bump" in the center I intend to put them over 2.5 of CLAYS Question is: Do I seat them exactly to the mouth of the case... .005 -.010 below...or .005-.010 above the rim. I will taper crimp them just back to sizing diameter of course These will be used mostly in the 52-2...but shouldnt they be just fine in a J frame 2" revolver as well ? I know its taper crimp instead of the traditional roll crimp for revolvers but................. What do you all think??

I load Speer HBWC for my M52 and seat them as near flush as possible, then roll crimp. MY gun depends on that roll crimp for reliable feeding, a taper crimp lets cartridges "stub" against the ramp.
