Correct dies for 357 revolver?

[richrd]

I've loaded many, many thousands of rifle cases over the years using Crisco for lube and never had a stuck case.

For $6 if you buy a set of carbide dies and only used the WC seating stem in it occasionally you are still good. I used carbide dies a lot now days but I still have 5 or 6 sets of .38/.357 steel RCBS die sets that also still get used. They are all set up for different bullets and locked down tight so I rarely have to adjust when I switch bullets , I just switch die sets or seater dies either one. I keep a dummy round in the box so I can easily see which bullet the set is adjusted for. Most of the steel sets came off of Ebay or from gun shows where I got them for a price similar to what you paid. If you got a shell holder with the set it is worth more than you gave for the set.

That is why you need a large .14" thick, flat washer, placed under your #3 die
for the correct result.

Fl resize .357 , right ?

I used to use a nickel.

Like SixGunsOnly said - if you use Imperial sizing wax you will find that every third case or maybe even fourth will be plenty of lube - try it and see.

reloading die date

I looked at the date on those dies. Boy do I feel old, My 357 dies were bought in 1962, I used them until I bought my Dillion Square Deal, and It is so old I only paid $128.00 shipped.
