Greetings,

Are you inquiring about the 38 Smith & Wesson/38 Colt New Police that is short?

If so, 38 ACP/Super sizing dies are the same dimensions.

If you size 38 S&W with a 38 S&W Special, you will mangle the cases. I speak from experience.

Check cartridge dimensions for free at   www.saami.org

Cheers,

Dave

yes! that's the one. i didn't figuire that they'd size right. the other thing seems to be the 38/357 shell plate would be too tight. if i size with 38 super, then i'll need to look into shell plates.

Greetings,

Rich Daniels should be able to provide a shell plate.

I can machine the sizing, seating, and crimp dies along with the expander plug.

Contact either of us should you need parts.

Cheers,

Dave
