One word of caution if you want to load a 148 gr. hollow base wadcutter reversed. The maximum load is 3 grs. of Bullseye according to my latest Hornady Seventh Issue Reloading Manual. I personally would approach the max. load by starting at 2.5 grs and going up a 1/10th of a grain at a time.

Stopping Power
I am not surprised that a current manual shows 2.5 grs. of Bullseye to be max.
The load I referenced is from 1971, and not from a manual, but a personal reference. It is not a load for continued target shooting, but a load for maximum stopping power in a police setting. There were similar types of loads for the 45 acp that certainly wouldn't be found in a loading manual today. We need to understaand that there is certainly some inherent risk to being shot by a robbery perpetratorwith a gun and it might be acceptable risk to use a more powerful load in a duty gun at that moment than you would routinely carry on traffic duty.
