Won’t the die be too long?

 

[the Black Spot]

I thought they were about the same case wise

close but not =quite the same

Forgot the Lyman image was copyrighted, removed it.
Don't want to get myself or THR in trouble.
Drawings available for free download from SAAMI but also copyrighted so I didn't post them.
Lots of rifle chamber/cartridge info .pdf download here

Sorry Patocazador and Nature Boy, you may want to remove the like

It will more or less be just sizeing the neck and maybe some of the body. If its sll u got go for it.

A set of Lee .358 dies will set you back less than $30.
Just get a set of Lee dies. They’re what I use.

Too much difference in the two, to use the same dies.

Thanks all for the replies.

Buy some dies, you would probably end up ruining the brass and I doubt that .358 brass is very plentiful and cheap.

Why? The post and point was valid. The drawings just helped to show it better.

I had my XP-100 in .35 Rem. re-chambered to .358 Win. You are right. they are not the same.

The Lyman picture was copyrighted, did not want there to be an issue with THR (or myself) possibly violating the copyright if Lyman wanted to be a pain.
Was going to post the SAAMi cartridge and chamber drawings but they are copyrighted as well which is why I just put the link in.

And yes the picture made it much clearer.

If you put it in a rifle stock, it would be a short-barreled rifle which is an ATF no-no.

I don't think so. Check the SAAMI Rifle, Cartridge & Chamber Drawings.

Ya that why it never happend.

As far as reloading dies I think it's safe to say that "close enough for jazz" won't cut it. A few thousandths here or there and plus or minus a few degrees on the shoulder and things just won't go well for you.

Saami is copyrighted, see page 4 of the .pdf rifle document. (pdf page not document page number)
You can download the .pdf but it looks like snipping from it and re-posting is not allowed without permission.

I looked to be sure.
