Yes, for .357 diameter jacketed bullets (which have a cannelure) and lead bullets (which have grooves), for both the .357 Magnum loads and the .38 Special loads.

Lee crimp die.

A mild crimp with the Lee die for copper plated bullets -- which do not have a groove -- and a still pretty mild crimp for coated bullets -- which have the grooves of the lead bullet underneath the coating. Just getting started with the coated bullets, but I don't want to cut through the coating and cause them to separate from the lead bullet as they leave the case.

Never had a bullet pull out of a case while in a cylinder.
