Those Buff B wads are a neat niche load. Kudos to them for making them.

I use a .38 wadcutter handload for my wife's gun. I heavy crimp all my handloads and since the powder is IMR PB and ignites inconsistently without a good crimp, that's one more reason to put the big squeeze on them. I use 148 gr. Rainier dual ended plated wads, seat them a little proud and press the case mouth right into the bullet with my Lee FCD. Of interest is that I don't know how fast they're going. I tweeked the load around penetration depth in Perma-Gel. As you can see there can be several reasons to seat a wadcutter a little high.
