"Are you talking the RCBS #35-200-FP bullet? You'd have to really deep seat that one to make it fit."
Yes and yes you do. There are two items one must pay attention to, seating to the cylinder length and crimping the bullet over the ojive, without refrence to any manual, if using the 357 case. Now the 38 spl can be crimped into the crimping groove if trimmed correctly.
The other item is the choice of brass. Usually the RCBS FP bullet requires the use of brass / brass as even the thickness of a nickel coating will cause a bulge at the web that will prevent the loaded cartridge from fitting in the chamber.
I use H-110 in my loads and Federal 205m primers with a hard crimp. This is not a loading process for a novice.
