    .357 Magnum dies for 357 Maximum

    Can you use 357 Magnum dies when loading 357 Maximum?

    I don't think so the maximum is much longer

    Hornady's dies specifically say "38 special/357 magnum/357 maximum".

    I have the hornady dies and they worked perfect for 357 maximum. I never tried my rcbs dies.

    I have Lee dies. I had one person tell me they would work, but that was only person. I saw that the Hornady dies are for all three.

    I have used my Lee 357 dies to load 357 max and they worked just fine. Just follow their instructions and back out a couple dies. I now came across a set of Redding 357 max dies and now use them.
