I am new to reloading metallic and wish to reload 38 cal
for indoor 50 foot paper target. I will be using 148 gr. hbwc
or dewc with w231 or Bullseye powder. I have read various
sources about crimping the wadcutter. Is it correct you always
seat the bullet flush with the case mouth or slightly above
case mouth? Do i crimp at all? If i do crimp how much of a roll crimp is desired?
Also if i use 158 gr. swc do i crimp these and how much if at all.
I use a S&W model 66-3 357 with 2.5 inch barrel.
If no crimp is required what keeps the bullet in place from round to round when firing?
Thanks in advance for any advise you may have!
