Hard cast wadcutters have a crimping groove just below the wide flat meplat. So to roll crimp using the groove, the bullet will protrude slightly beyond the case mouth.



Of course, you can crimp over the top of the bullet and seat them flush but the little bit of lead makes chambering in a revolver quite a bit easier.
