You an buy the proper 38 S&W dies from Midway for $33. As stated, you can get the correct bullets from Missouri Bullets. So what's the problem?
I have a 33-1 and a older Regulation Police that I shoot quite a bit. One of revolvers I take to the range a lot. I use 2.5 to 2.7 gr. of AA#2 with the 145 gr. bullet.
