Just got a Model 52-2 and am waiting on ammo to arrive so I can shoot it. All of my .38 WCs to date have been DEWCs crimped in the first groove for my and my wife's revolvers, of course, not usable in the 52.

I also have a couple of types of HBWCs coming so I can reload specifically for this gun. Any tips on on how to flush seat or slightly below the case mouth would be appreciated, so I can roll crimp over the bullet shoulder. I am planning on 2.7 gr. of Bullseye to start, based on really good results using 3.0 gr in the revolver loads and numerous posts here and other places.

Does anybody have anything to say about DEWCs for the 52, assuming they are seated correctly? The bevel on these bullets should allow a nice-feeding crimp for the 52, I would guess.

I load everything on a single stage press and weigh charges individually "just because".

Thanks,
Scott

ps. I am a newb on the forum so I could post, but have been a big fan for years, and gotten lots of good info here.
