Reloading Better Bullets in .38 Special

[hapidogbreath]

I am having trouble finding Load data for 148 GR double end Wad Cutters. I am going to use Tite Group. Wondering what the seating depth is I have seen Wad Cutters flush in the case. This is my first foray into revolver reloading. Any Help would be Great!!!

You just use any data you can find for 148 solid base wadcutters.

Lyman #49 says 3.1 Start - 3.5 MAX.

Your bullets very likely have one or two lube grooves filled with grease, a crimp groove with no grease on both ends.

That is where you should seat them too.

Hollow base wad-cutters are often seated flush.
I prefer to seat them out about 1/8" for better cylinder throat alignment.

I do the same, my DEWC are seated in the crimp groove about 1/8" out of the case.
