I'm getting a pretty good deal on a 4 cavity.
The thing that concerns me is that it looks to have 2 deep lube grooves and no crimp groove.

I'm thinking it will work well enough for .38 special, since there shouldn't be enough recoil to worry about bullet setback.
Have any of you tried it in .357 magnum? I'd like to use it for both, but may be relegated to light loads.
If so, that's fine. I'm still going to buy it.

Any thoughts on it at all would be welcome.

Mine drops at .361, I size to .360 and use in 38 S&W. It weighs 147 gr.s when finished. Thats with a soft alloy, about 9 BHN
