For the best accuracy I use .38 HBSWC swaged bullets. Grease in groove lube for harder bullets is ok.
I mostly shoot polymer coated bullets, mostly Hi-Tek coated that cost about 8 cents each.

The XTPs were mentioned just as a datapoint for 158grain projectiles. My Lee manual or die set sheets don't have a close analog in 158 grn FPs in lead or plated. Those are expensive pills for target shooting absolutely.
I was able to get my Berry's 158 grn plated at about 7 cents ea with some clever use of coupons and promotions.
