I seem to recall reading somewhere on the web that Starline 357 mag brass has the correct profile for loading wadcutters. Does anyone have any info on this?
Yes, I’ve already tried emailing Starline and have not received a reply.

The 32s&w brass l had was not good for wadcutters as it had an internal taper that bulged the case with cast and crushed the base with HBWC. I don’t know about your brass. You could measure free seating depth with the appropriate drill bit or gage pin.
I load wadcutters in Starline 38 Special cases with no issues.
I load 148gr wadcutters in Starline .357 brass- no issues

Thank you. I was surprised Starline didn't get back to me.Quote:
