I tried using .44Mag dies for .44Spl loads, but I did not get a good crimp.
Anyone have a similar problem? Is there a secret to it?

My old .357 dies would load but not crimp my .38's
Very good information, thank you...I tried the .44 Russian seater without the stem and...IT WORKED! I think I'll still get a .44 Spl crimp die.
Thanks everyone.
The cure is, chuck them in a lathe and use a die grinder to take 1/8" plus off the bottom of the dies so they can be adjusted down far enough to work.

I was thinking I had to mod both the seater & expander dies for a friend once years ago. No idea what brand of dies they were now though.Them?
