I use Remington 148gr. HBWC, as the lube, dirty as it appears to be, shoots cleaner, but gums up the seating die a bit. The Speer are better in my guns than the Hornady, the Hornady lead the most, I think it's the knurled surface, lets too much raw lead touch the bore.
They shoot very well, even though they are long for the slow roundball twist in the bore, I think the hollow base makes the nose heavy like an arrowhead, and helps stability.
I seat them about 1/16 inch out of the case mouth, both for SASS legality, and to see more quickly that it is a loaded round, not empty. The Kirst or the R&D cylinder will chamber a 38Special with a wadcutter, but not a round nose bullet. The 38LC will accept a hollowbase roundnose and fit within the length of the cylinder. They are available from River Junction Trade Co., as are the Kirst Converters..
One advantage of the swaged HBWC, Speer, REM or Hornady is they are swaged from pure lead, so they expand well to fill the bore.
