True or false?

No.

38 Super/Comp is to large for the .380 Kit

38sc is same diameter. if .380 is a push thru die

then It should work.

I tried to do a test re-size with Starline 38 SuperComp and AP02 bulged brass and couldn't push it through past the rim. Of course, I didn't try to force it through the re-sizer because it appears that it would deform the rim or break the handle. Still awaiting info from Lee about compatibility.

Just got off the phone with Lee Precision and 38 SuperComp (or regular Super) can not be re-sized and pushed through this kit as advertised because of the rim dimensions. It can be used as a standard re-sizer only.

Right. .38SC has a rim diameter of .386" give or take a thousandth. R,
