There are people using shortened .357 Herrett dies and 6.8 SPC brass.

Necking down that much introduces lots of neck thickness variation when you try to use different brass. Better to pick one and stick to it. The case pictured is a 375 Win, but I have dies for 30-06...

I'm thinking the one on the right will make a good boolit cartridge.
I'm going to have access to lots and lots of free 357SIG brass, so I thinking to get a extra barrel for one of my .40's. Is there a mold that is preferred. I'd don't a 9mm/38 mold that looks like a...

Some data I've seen has 125 grain bullets pushed to more than 2000 fps from a 6" revolver barrel, as fast or faster than pressure tested data from 10" Contender barrel.
180 grain boolits are going...
If you'll don't crimp, you'll have problems. The bullets (esp. heavy bullets) will loosen under recoil.
I had one. Ton's of fun. Light jacketed bullets make modern art out of the driest jackrabbit. The extra velocity is noticeable, but the blast is severe. Lot's of questionable data out there. ...
I only mess with berdan brass when I have to. With primers being scarce and 7.62x25 surplus still being fairly common, I'm inclined to forgo the converting brass for now.
I keep it, mind you. ...

According to Ed Hubel 7838 should work and the new RL 17 is even better.
RCBS 45-270-SAA cast up about 280 grains and is a good design for a heavy plinker.
