    Hmmm. I guess there's a reason why those 158SWCs are so popular, and have been for so long.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    You probably give up a tiny bit of velocity due to the air space left in a 357 mag case compared to a 38 special case. I kinda like your idea though. Just one setting of the dies. Not having to change from 38 to 357.

    Yep, been doing it that way for years (though I never chronographed them). I liked it so much I gave my .38 brass away.
