Just got my new 38 Special/357 Magnum dies in. I have a lot of Accurate No. 2 powder and was considering using it for .357 reloads. These loads will be used at the range. Has anyone reloaded .357 with Accurate No. 2? Should I use a standard small pistol primer or a magnum primer? Should .357's be crimped?

Also, has anyone reloaded Remington Golden Sabres in .357? What would be the ideal weight for a Golden Sabre bullet? I reload them for 9mm and really like them.

Sorry for all the questions but since I started reloading it has become an addiction.
