Shooting Nut, are you using a factory crimp die? Or are you seating and crimping in one step? If not using one, I would recomend it. I had some bad luck at first with the powder through expasion die. It was goig too far in, and over flaring the case. I just backed it off, ad it is fine now. The 357 is setup completley different than the 38 spec. Back to the original point, It sounds like you are crimping/seating in the same step, get a FCD.
