Parts needed for a second toolhead to load .38 Special?

#1 · December 6, 2013, 2:26 am

I presently have my SDB set up for .357 Magnum. I would like to also load .38 Special without having to readjust the die settings on the existing toolhead. When I look at the parts I need, it appears that all I need is another Square Deal 'B' Toolhead #20113 and perhaps a duplicate bullet seating die, if I'm seating the same type of bullets in both .357 Mag and .38 Sp. Is this correct?

I should have written a duplicate bullet seating "stem" not "die" above.

A toolhead and the appropriate bullet seating stem are all you will need if you are using the same powder measure. If you are planning to dedicate a separate powder measure, then add the powder funnel also.
