Oldgoat03 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I picked up an older used SDB a while ago and have really been enjoying loading on it for my pistols. I have been slowly adding caliber conversions and dies and recently bought what was advertised as a 38SPL/357 caliber Conversion and die set. It seems to have parts for 38ACP in the box rather than all the 38/357 parts that I need. Not sure what a 38ACP is?!? Will it work for 38SPL/357? I couldn't find 38ACP listed in Dillons SDB caliber list. Is it the 38 Super? Or Super comp? The following parts are what arrived: 38/357 #1 (seems to be correct sizing die) 38ACP # 1 (another sizing die?/look the same except for the ACP label) D Powder Funnel (correct funnel for 38/357) 38ACP # 3 (station 3 = seating die) Two 38A seating stems (flat point and RN) one 38 seat stem RN (much shorter than the other 38A's) Sta # 4 crimp die seems to be missing. I'm thinking I've been had ... sold a mixed bag of stuff that won't work to load either caliber. Your Thoughts? Thanks OldGoat03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 .38 ACP was the forerunner of .38 Super. Same size case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldgoat03 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Update - The seller said he didn't realize he sold me a mixed and incomplete conversion kit and refunded me $35. I shipped him the 38 ACP parts and ordered the balance for a complete kit from Dillon. I should've just bought new ... live and learn. All parts here and happily loading 38Spl on my SDB. Life is good! Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
