    .38 spl swc dies

    Ok I bought a set of .38 dies I thought they were .38 spl but now I read a little closer. They say they are .38 spl swc. Do you think the will do both or just wad cutter?

    Likely means the seating stem in the seater die is flat.

    Might dent the meplat of a RN bullet, but otherwise should work. You can use some JB weld to reshape the cup on your seater stem.

      Thanks for the info. They were sold at a price I could not refuse.

        Call the manufacture , most times they will send you the seating stem free

          Even better advice.

            Lee will actually make you a pusher if you send them a bullet. Last time I looked it was like $8 or something.

            You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

              My RCBS dies came with both a SWC and a RN seating stem. If they are RCBS or one of the other manufactures I am sure you can get another seater with a phone call.
              A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.
