M-die.
isnt the M die for neck flaring? I was thinking id get a noe expander plug to do that. this last round i managed with my .357 die. problem is i cant seat the bullet.Quote:

You could unscrew the seating plug and see how it matches up with the bullet.
the rcbs seater plug that comes with the dies is not long enough and fits poorlyQuote:

Call RCBS and ask about a .357 Magnum seater punch. They will send one free.
If you have .38 Special or .357 dies by RCBS you might experiment with swapping the seating punch.
You can also consider the competition seater which has a window and allows you to drop bullets in from above the case mouth.
Maybe a dumb question, but wouldn’t a 357mag seater stem be shorter than a 38special seater stem?Quote:

Ask RCBS or try them out if you have them.
