Good points. I never thought of it that way, having for the most part always loaded handgun ammo with "quantity with acceptable accuracy" in mind. To take it a step further, I'm exploring a facet that I've never done before: pistol cartridge in a long barreled single shot rifle with a desire for accuracy as well as killing power. To whit, .357 Maximum in a Martini Cadet. I'm wondering now if I would be doing myself a favor by scrounging up a .38/.357 steel sizing die to augment the carbide die I use to load "lesser" cartridges? Do the old steel dies have enough length to accommodate the Maximum case which wasn't around yet when steel dies were all we had?
