Question about 357 Maximum Dies

[Bossloper]

Can the 357 maximum be loaded with standard 38/357 carbide dies, or do I need dies specific for the 357max? I have a H&R model 058 that has a 357 max barrel, and I want to by another set of dies for it so I can leave my 38 special dies set up.

Here's the reply I got from the Redding Tech. when I posed a similar question concerning .357 Max dies.

Hi William.

 Thank you for your interest in Redding Reloading Equipment.  We offer die sets for the 357 MAXIMUM in our custom series, but you can reload the cartridge just fine with any properly adjusted 38/357 die set.  I’ve loaded for years for my two 357 MAXIMUM firearms (TC Contender & H&R Ultra Rifle) this way.

 Regards,

We need to get Patrick to become a member so we can convert him to a Handi-Holic !!!
He already has started, just needs a little nudging.
