Default Bullet Size For The 52 Wadcutter

I read somwhere that the barrels on Smith 52's are .357.
So what size wadcutter can you use? I see .357 and .358 depending on which company is making the bullets.

I purchaced a 52-1 from a guy knowing it had feeding problems at a good price. I fixed the problem by resizeing 148 gr. .357 dewcs to .356 & 3.2 gr. of Clays. It works for me because I shot a 100 x 6x. at 25 yards last week.--JACK--
