I load on a Dillon XL650 and I have dedicated tool heads set up with the dies for each caliber and cartridge that I load. I don't load 38 Special anymore, but years ago I got a Dillon tool head that came with a shim that goes above the tool head for 38 and under the tool head for 357 Magnum. changing cartridges just means moving the shim above or below the toolhead. Long ago stopped loading 38 Special when an experiment I did with making "38 Magnums" (overloaded 38 Special) did not work out the way I wanted it to. I was trying to get a 38 Special load that I could shoot at 50 yards with a lever rifle and a 357 Magnum load for 100 yards such that the scope would not need to be adjusted back and forth as I changed from 50 to 100 yards. Never had a safety problem, by the way, but found it was easier to fine tune the 357 Magnum load to accomplish flat shooting between 50 and 100 yards than to get the 38 "Magnum" and 357 Magnum loads worked out.
