Do I need special dies to load the new Starline .38-55 brass that is 2.125” long or can I use the standard dies backed out ?

Back when I assembled fixed ammunition, I used Redding dies for both Starline case lengths. As with all die use applications, dies often need to be fine tuned for each load and rifle.

Maybe much older die sets might not “like” the slightly longer case, by 0.045”, not sure.
