Does .38 Super require its own dies, or will .38 special/.357 dies work?

[45fan]

45fan, I was just expanding on CB45's comment that .38 S&W dies would not size 38 Super brass enough. I did not mean to suggest you were wrong in your observation. The manufacturer may have listed another cartridge that was compatible. I am not familiar with the 38 Auto.

Sorry, I wrote my statement backwards... 38 S&W dies will resize 38 Super brass too much...

Casewall OD of difference of 0.005" maybe OK if you don't mind working the brass a little more.

Good luck.

Edit: Also there is the roll crimp vs taper crimp difference between the two.

Its all good, and while I have thought about the 38 Super just because, I have considered the roll crimp/taper crimp issue, and probably would just find a dedicated set of dies specifically for the 38 Super instead of trying to make due with dies that may/may not work as well as they should.

I think that we are all on the same page, just not reading the same paragraph, lol.
