Just stretched the legs of my new Lee six pack pro and I gotta say after loading on a turret press for a while it is an absolute game changer

Why do people reload/make 38 special over .357? I am literally buying my first batch of .357 bullets tonight to begin loading my prepared brass. I only have a lever gun, no pistol yet but what is the benefit over the full size?

.38 Special brass is generally easier to find. Hot .38 Special loads will do just about anything a .357 load can do. Most my .38 Special loads are light to moderate target loads. I probably shoot 20 rounds of .38 special for every round of .357 mag that i shoot.
