OP, I can spare some, if you don't mind used brass. Call it whatever I can stuff in a SFRB for the cost of shipping. I can check tomorrow for which head stamps I have.

Thank you for your most generous offer but I ordered .357 Magnum from Starline in bulk prior to your posting. I now have enough .357 brass to last a lifetime.
 
In the past few months I’ve ordered .357 Mag., .44 Spl. and two orders for .32 H&R Mag cases from Starline in 500-piece counts. The last batch of .32 came in last week, it was backordered for a couple of months.

Man, I need to get to work on prepping these. ;)

Stay safe.
We measure brass in five gallon buckets in these parts, it might be time to order more. ;)

and if you need it you had better get it...whatever "it" is...
 
I shoot a pretty heavy crimp in 38 and 357, I seem to get a lot more mid case splits than anything else. In lever guns it appears the chamber clearances kill cases faster than anything I can do loading. I loose them the same way in pistol but the fact they are shot mostly in levers the last firing in a pistol and then mid case failure is just where they finally fail.

Have you ever tried Redding's dual ring resizing dies? I use them and they don't undersize the body diameter like single ring sizing dies do.
They might help. I haven't seen a split 357 case for years. But I dry mine under infered heaters also and that may have something to do with it also. They get very hot.
 
For the life of me, I can’t remember what it used to cost which gives me a basis for what I should pay for it in these inflationary times. Is 45 cents a round new brass high? I think it is but maybe not?
Last June (2021) I bought 1000 .357 cases from Starline for $161.00 to my door. That is a little over 16 cents per case. This is excellent brass in my opinion and very nice to work with.

I've been buying once fired brass from capital cartridge or k diamond brass. If you shop wisely. I usually pickup brass from the indoor range as a bonus. Capital cartridge had a special on 500 9mm new brass and primed for 87.50 + shipping seemed like a good deal
 
in 2020, I can't remember. I bought but they were around 5 cents each for 300 mixed range cases. What's funny is the nickel cases were re-sized and primed. I called the guy back and said I wanted more of the primed cases at that price. The guy, a friend, didn't realize the nickel ones were primed. And I don't think he cared. I suppose I should get some more before he changes his mind. My problem was those nickel cases were a b$%^&* to seat a 158 grn. LSWC. I may just de-prime them and load brass .38 Special.
