Hello,

Can I use my Dillon 38/357 dies to load 357 Max?

Thanks

Rob

I thought I would have seen a reply from Dillon on my question.

Form what I have read, you can use 38 Special/357 mag dies to resize and reload, but you will not be able to get a full length resize because of it being almost 0.5" longer than 38 special. This is the source of my information:

You will need 357 Maximum specific dies. There is not sufficient room for adjustment due to the much longer case length
