My first venture into loading the 38 special wadcutter

SS336 I don't even think those would fit in the Model 52 magazine. The bullet has to be flush with the case rim. But I am sure that there will be more replies on this. I am fairly new to the Model 52, and it sure has been a learning curve. But I have loaded for over 50 years. The loaded rounds should look like the pictures I posted when I started this thread. Also most people try to load for 700-750fps. Bullseye powder is king. I guess some people are using Titegroup as well.

I had to seat to an OAL of 1.16" for my 52-2.

My .38 spl wadcutter load uses a different style of wad cutter bullet and shoots very well in my revolvers.
Would it work in a M52?

Nope, wadcutters must be seated flush with the case mouth. Since your bullets protrude past the case mouth, they will not fit into a Model 52 magazine.
