Personally, I'd flush seat that Berry wadcutter. I crimp all revolver loads, with the exception of flush-seated wadcutters. There's no crimp groove on the wadcutter, and the OAL you have it seated to looks pretty long for a wadcutter bullet - which has no ogive. Proof is in the shooting, but with that OAL for a wadcutter I would be concerned with seating issues in the cylinder throats and bullet "crimp" jump.
There's plenty of data available for flush seated 148/150 grain wadcutter bullets, and 750 fps out of a 4" barrel .38 Special is a mild load.
