Hey guys! It looks like it takes an act of Congress to find some 375 SM dies at a reasonable price. The last I heard Redding had some for 186.00 and those are special made. One guy took the 375 Win. Dies and cut them down to size on a lathe. [Yep the dies themselves were cut shorter.] That's an idea but it's not fun cutting carbide steel. Does anyone have any .375 SM dies for sale? Thanks, Gary.

I had to look around for 7 or 8 months for mine, so you're not alone. Actually, I found an online store selling some in the $150 range, but couldn't make myself spend that much. I finally found a set from a seller on another forum, for around $70 if I recall.
Here's a pic of mine, you could try doing a search for the part number, maybe that will help.
BTW, when you do find some, make sure you use plenty of lube. I discovered that these tapered cases love their lube!

Be patient, they show up from time to time. Just sold my "extra" set recently.
Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

Note: The 357 Mag die set can load maximum cases. The 357 Mag cannot load the 38 Special.
My bad, need to put my reading glasses on...

alor I was talking about the .375 SM like the 375 H&H and not the .357 mag. They get confusing. It's been a while since I loaded .38 spl, but I was thinking with my die set which is a 38/357 die I can load the .38 and 357 mag. and I do load the .357 max with the same die. You are right a dedicated 357 mag die will not load the .38.

Hi All,
I am just starting to reload (just finished my first batch of 44 magnum subsonic for a rifle, yee haw, going to test the accuracy tomorrow 
), but couldn't 10 people or more get together for a group purchase from the following page?
http://leeprecision.com/xcart/Custom-Services.html
It would seem (?) that we could get custom 375 dies made, and split the ONE TIME setup cost 10 ways, bringing the price of a set of 375 dies down to like $65? I am just not sure what dies are needed as the 375 SM has a tapered case.

Redding wanted 250.00 to set up to make the .375 SM and then 30.00 for the die set plus S/H. You end paying about 300.00 for one set that way. It would be good if you had enough people to go in on the set up cost.
I was finally able to find a 375 SM Redding set from a guy selling a ton of guns. I have a new 375 SM RCBS die set too.
