    Hypothetical self defense handloads for 458 SOCOM

    Looking at what bullets would be very effective against soft bodies so I can have at least one mag of it. I'm looking at Maker bullets 300gr TREX, Lehigh 300gr Controlled Fracturing, or Cutting Edge 260gr Maximus copper solid. Kind of limited on powder and only have H110 and Lil Gun, so bullets...

All opinions welcome, thanks...

    .38spl/.357 RCBS dies

    I recently ordered a 3 die carbide set from RCBS for .38 special and .357 magnum from amazon. I got the set in the mail today and was surprised to see that both the sizing and seating dies were labeled 380 AUTO. Upon further inspection I discovered that amazon (or someone, but I assume amazon)...
