Thanks for the reply!


No, the sizer /decapper die does NOT move when switching from .38 to .357, because the HEAD of both cases is in exactly the same place in the shell holder, and you need to size all the way down. The other dies move up 1/8" because they operate on the MOUTH of the cases, and a .357 case is 1/8" longer than a .38 cases. My RCBS dies came with a precision 1/8" washer to raise the die without fiddling with the adjustment.
