Can .357/38Special dies be used to load .380, if not how about 38Super dies?
 
I know that you can not use .357/38 dies. Can't use 9mm dies. No experience with 38 super. I think you will need to "bite the bullet" and buy .380 dies. I have loaded thousand of .380 rounds using Lee dies. Never a problem. Just take your time and set them up properly. Best wishes!
 
There is enough difference in the diameter of 380 that 9mm and 38 ACP/Super dies will not work. You need to buy the correct 380 dies to reload them.
