Any proper 3 die set has an expander/belling die included, don't make this any more complicated than it is, it's just a matter of setting it up right. I favor Redding carbide die sets, or any Redding dies for that matter.

I don't know of a deprime and belling die, they are generally two different dies. One sizes and deprimes then another bells the case.

In the old days a handgun die set had a sizer, a deprime and bell die, and a seater/crimp die. Those sets are still on ebay pretty cheap and I see the sets and individual dies at guns shows and real gun shops on a regular basis. The old sets are a great basis for making your own specialized dies. I'll check and see if I have a spare .38/357 and let you know.

RCBS 38/357 sets from the 70s and early 80s used deprime/flaring dies. Sizing and seating were done with the other 2 dies.

I'M SORRY I cannot seem to be clear lately what I am looking for. So.............. I am looking for a case bell die for 357 magnum. I do not need the whole set.......... already have one of those. I just need an extra bell die. nothing complicated about it.

Lee Universal Case Flaring/Expanding Die, get that and it will work for just about everything.

I may have an old set of RCBS dies if your still interested. They are in a cardboard box from RCBS.

I just checked and I still have that die set. And it has a bell and deprime die with it. The set is from 1967.
