Try again wise ones.
The 38 Long Colt has a bullet diameter of .361 and a case neck of .381
The 38 S&W has a bullet diameter of .361 and a case neck of .3855
A the diameter of the heel of a heeled bullet is SMALLER than the diameter of the bullet, not bigger. So a smaller expander is needed not larger.
The expander in his die set is .385 (marked 386) which is larger than the 38 LC case and as large as the 38 S&W case. A round loaded with a .385 bullet most likely would not chamber in either the 38 LC or 38 S&W.
