I have a 20 year old set set of lyman carbide dies and a 12 year old set of Dillon carbide dies, they both will load either .38 spl of .357 magnum with no problem. The difference between the two rounds as far as the dies are concerned is .125 inches in length. IIRC that is 5 turns of the die body.

Other dies may be different, but I doubt it.
