I bought a set of 38-55 Lee Loading dies years ago and never used them. Just the other day I pulled them out and noticed that I received a 38-55 sizing die but the other 2 dies say 375 win. This does not seem right ,does it?
 
That is probably a standard practice as 38-55 sizing die would be .065" longer than the 375W but expander and seater would be interchangeable as bullets are generally the same diameter.

Your lucky! Just a while ago I ordered a 38-55 Lee set from down east and the box label says 38-55, but a .40 S&W set just doesn't work!
 
Lots of the Lee sets are like that for straight wall cartridges. My Nagant dies have some 32 dies and 455 does include a 45acp.

If you are using .375 bullets they should work fine. Maybe .377 too but at .380 they interfere with the crimp ring in the seating die.
