WTB 38 S&W reloading dies

Just picked up a 38 S&W and am looking for some reloading dies perferably other than Lee.

My Wife has a S&W model 32 Terrier in 38 S&W I got a set of 9 mm Makarov dies ( instead of the 38 S&W dies) for using cast bullets! They are closer to the .362" size that here revolver needs so no leading

The RCBS "Cowboy" dies in .38 S&W are exactly what you want. Sizer is steel, not carbide, so you have to have clean, lubricated cases to size, but you can load .362" diameter bullets without damage and apply a correct, heavy roll crimp to prevent inertial dislodgement.

I would agree with Outpost75
Most all modern dies resize your brass too much and expand too little for cast bullet use ( They are made for jacketed bullets)
(I chose the Lee Makarov dies because they were a good cheap alternative to the RCBS cowboy dies!)
I use the Lee 38 S&W dies to resize and expand my 38 Spec brass ( Instead of the the 38 special dies) BTW
