Best Suited For

  • Reloading .38 S&W and .38 Colt New Police revolver cartridges
  • Owners of older or classic revolvers (Webley, Enfield, S&W top-break, etc.)
  • Shooters wanting affordable ammo for less common calibers
  • Reloaders who prefer simple 3-die systems
  • Beginners using single-stage or turret presses

💡 These calibers are less common than .38 Special, making reloading a cost-effective and often necessary option.

When To Use It

Use this die set when:

  • Processing fired .38 S&W brass cases
  • Producing target, practice, or light-duty revolver loads
  • You want a combined seating + crimping operation
  • Using Lee’s powder-through expanding system

Typical workflow:

  1. Resize & deprime (carbide sizing die)
  2. Expand case mouth & charge powder (expander die)
  3. Seat bullet & apply crimp (seating die)

Use alternatives if:

  • You want separate crimp control → add a factory crimp die
  • You reload mixed brass in large volumes → consider 4-die sets

Q: Is it beginner-friendly?
