I HAVE AT LEAST TWO SETS OF THEM, THE LAST SO NEW I'VE NOT SET 'EM UP YET.

THE FIRST HAS AN OVERSIZE CARBIDE SIZER DIE, [ IT'S A 38S+W/38SUPER DIE IN ACTUALITY ] FOR USING ON THOSE THICKSIDED WCC 71 MILITARY CASES OF WHICH I HAVE A VERITABLE SHIQLOAD.

THIS LAST SET IS FOR REGULAR OL' 38SPL BRASS BUT DOES NOT WORK IT IN SIZING SO MUCH AND HAS A SPECIAL EXPANDER JUST FOR WC BULLETS. THE SEATER IS T/C AND HAS A BIGGER OPENING ON THE BOTTOM TO LINE UP WC BULLETS MORE EASILY FOR SEATING WHEN RUNNING A PROGRESSIVE PRESS.

I HAVE ANOTHER SET OF RCBS 38SPL WADCUTTER DIES TOO BUT I'LL BE DANGED IF I CAN REMEMBER A THING ABOUT 'EM AS I WRITE THIS...THEY WERE TO SOLVE SOME PROBLEM I HAD 35 OR 40 YEARS AGO AND DID SO TOO...DAMNED IF I CAN REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS NOW.
AND SO IT GOES...

EDITED FOR BRAINFARTS
