    In search of .38 Special seating or crimping die

    I recently obtained a Lee 357 die set that has the carbide sizing die from a friend of mine. The problem is that the seating die is too long to accommodate the .38 Special case. So...I'm looking for a die that will seat and crimp the .38Special, or a lee Factory Crimp Die.

    Have you tried using a washer under the die for your 38 spl. cases?

    Thanks to all who replied! A local friend just gave me a .38 Special seating die that was excess to his needs.
