Default 38 short colt

Hey everyone,

I have a Dillon 550 and I like thier dies, What die combo would you buy from Dillon to make a set of dies. I know the decap and resize would be the 38/357, but what about the seating and crimp dies?

Hi,
I made some 38 short colt cases from cutdown 38 special cases . Used the Lee seating/crimp die in 9mm . Because of the thicker cut down case size of the 38 special cases, I had to run the finished bullet through the resizer again (no decapper) . Worked for me .
