"...for him to make rounds for me in his press..." Never use anybody else's reloads. Ever. Use your buddy's kit, but load 'em yourself.
Onmilo, has an extremely valid point and I suspect he's exactly right. If you use .38 cases in a .357, there will be a build up of lube in the cylinders. Changing cases without cleaning will give you grief. Doesn't matter what bullet. Loading .357 cases with .38 loads make this go away. Shot 148 grain WC's using 2.5 of Bullseye for eons with my GP. No fuss. No bother.
Either way, don't give up on reloading. It's the only way you'll be able to use the best ammo for your firearm. Just buy an RCBS Beginner's kit. You have the dies. The only thing you'll need is a shell holder, bullets and primers.
