Lee shows separate dies for .38 and .357. RCBS shows one set of dies for both. I want the Lee (have 9mm and .45) but can the .357 be adjusted down enough for .38 or just go with .38 and use for .357?

I use the combo 38/357 lee dies with no problems. The expander and seating dies will adjust for either round.

Lee items 90964 & 90510 does both .38 & .357Mag.

Lee item 90511 does .357Mag & .357Max but no .38.

I made the mistake and bought the 90511 without reading the warning. Now I own it and 90964. But it's OK because I leave the 90511 set for magnum and the other set for .38.

I have never seen dies just for the 38 special.
Usually they are all for 38/357 as far I can see.
I have loaded 357 max in my 38/357 RCBS dies but I may be wrong ???
