Get yourself a new one, build that one back so it works, and while you are ordering, get the other parts unique to the 357.

If it is broken, Winchester has been very good about replacing the part at no charge. It's a $29 part and is still available from Wnchester. Part# U3430...

Re: Experiences with .357 Mag on Deer?

I like flat point 180s. Work great to 100+yards. They carry plenty of energy for much longer shots, but you better know exactly the trajectory in YOUR gun.

I use standard dies. But I also use Lee's universal case mouth expander die for loading cast bullets. It bells the case mouth to allow the cast bullet to seat w/o scraping any lead off of the sides. It does this w/o expanding the case below the mouth at all.
