[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 924859, member: 69478"] Firstly, welcome to the site! I have a .308 Norma Magnum which is nearly identical to the .30-338 but is just a tad longer. There is no loaded ammunition available for the .30-338 and brass has to be made from necked down .338 Winchester Mag casings. You can order dies from Redding and they will be around $80 or so for a two die set and close to $100 for the three die set that includes the neck sizing die. I bought my .308 Norma three die set from Redding and they are very nice. I just checked Gunbroker, and there is an RCBS two die set for the .30-338 and they are buy now for $55! If you get those RCBS dies I recommend buying a Redding neck sizing die so after firing your necked down .338 brass you can neck size them, which headspaces the cartridge off of the shoulder and not the belt which gets the maximum accuracy of the round. The cheapest way to make ammunition would be buy those dies and get some .338 Win Mag brass.
