Soooo, I bought  .357 maximum loading dies sets.  Also included were a bunch of Rem 357 MAX Brass, and 2 boxes of Midway .35 Cal/.356 Soft Point 200 grain bullets....(measure @ .358)    I asked my reloader if these could be used for my .357 Super mag, and he didn't seem to know other than they were rifle loads.

Not worth trying to save a few dimes if they are going to wreck the gun.

Any experienced reloaders here that can give me advice?

Thankis

I use heavy 38 cal bullets to avoid the flame cutting possibility.  Speer makes a 180 GB again I think.  I never micd the bullets, just loaded them.  

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

If a man designed it, and a man built it, then a man can fix it.

They will stabilize with no issues.  I've used up to 220 grain. You're not going to wreck the gun as long as the diameter is right for the bore. I size my cast bullets at .360

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....
