For one I wont have to keep altering the seating dies as it is a "38 special" also they don't have any lock ring which can be a bit of a pain, I have the rock chucker supreme press .

Are you saying you want some .357 dies to load .38 special? - They work the other way round .38 spec will load .357 but .357 won't load .38 spec.

A spare set of three Lee locking rings cost about £3.00, if you put two rings back to back on each die you can nip them together and they'll stay put.

I don't think I've ever seen a specific set of dies for .38 special...??

The only difference between .38 special and .357 magnum is the magnum case is 1/10 of an inch longer, so a carbide sizing die will do both.

Just means you have to seat your seating and/or crimp dies slightly deeper for .38.
