The reloading bug has hit and I’d like to reload some 38 Special 148gr wad cutters. Dug around and found my Dad’s old set of Pacific dies. There’s only two dies, I assume one is the de-priming/sizing die and the other is a seating/crimp die. Am I missing an expander die or did Pacific make a two die set for 38 Special?

That’s a neat trick to get a bullet started with no bell on the case. I have never seen a 38/357 set without one. If your looking for cheap, you might get away with a 9mm one to bell the case.

What kind of a press do you intend to use? On my Dillon press there is a powder funnel included with the caliber conversion kit that bells the case
