Default Bevel base 158 grain swc loads 38 special

I am having a problem getting a good accurate load in 38 special plus p or even 357 mag with these commercial cast bevel base bullets. I am an old hand loader and can get get some good loads with my flat base and gas check hand cast bullets or jacketed bullets but I often lack time to cast hence the bevel base coated and non coated 158 grain swc .358 commercial cast bullets. By good accuracy I mean 2 inch or less benched 5 or 6 shot groups at 25 yards. I am looking for midrange loads to turn out in quantity on my Dillon reloaders for my many smith revolvers . Any suggestions, loads, or experiences would be appreciated. Any loads with those bullets that just seem to shoot well in a variety of revolvers?

Thanks
Dogdoc
