Default Flat base vs Bevel base

I last reloaded in limited quantity 30 yrs ago. All the cast bullets we bought then was flat based, SWC. I read that alot of bbl erosion and leading in magnums (357, 41, 44) was from bullets that did not fit the bore (001+) and bevel based bullets that allowed hot gases to get by the base. Most of the commerical cast bullets I am looking at are bevel based.

What is the scoop on Bevel based bullets?

Can you recommend a flat based bullet commercially for top end mag loads in 357 (27-2), 41, and 44. Looking for Keith type, SWC bullets in all three.

thanks

Charlie
