38 special and 357 mag dies

I have a set of 357 mag Lee dies. Can i use them to reload 38 special?

The Lee set I have does both. You'll have to check your seating and crimp dies for depth. Make a couple of dummy rounds and chamber them.

A bad day at the range is better than a good day at work.

Yes. That is how I do mine.

I hope you got the carbide ones. Makes resizing quick and easy when you don't have to lube each case...
