2. Use the Lee FCD as suggested.
3. Use thinner wall brass (probably not findable).

I see the same bulge in my .38 Special reloads with .358 bullets and have never had a problem with chambering in a variety of revolvers from 1899 to the present.
I normally use 357. This was my first time to use 358. They will chamber so I will may use them for practice but use 357's for competition because I have such good luck with them. I do use the lee FCD. Thanks for your info.
