Let me know if this is OT.

Does anyone have experience with reloading .38sp in a .357 Lee Loader? The small kits, not the full size press and dies. I can't imagine there'd be a problem so long as the right load was used and the Loader will seat the bullet to the correct depth. I know Lee makes a .38/.357 combo, but I haven't been able to find one.

Not that I can find primers or bullets these days either!

I don't, but I just checked Lee's website and it looks like the only difference between the 2 loaders are the powder tables and the powder measures. The bodies are the parts are exactly the same. Just don't use the entire .7 .357 Mag charge in your .38s. Good luck!

Cool, thanks. I was going to pick up another ref and measurers anyhow. :)
