[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 970698, member: 5219"] I found that forming a 338/ 375 Ruger to be very easy. I was necking the brass down to 7mm/375 Ruger and used a 338 RCM FL die at that point. The 375 Ruger and 338 RCM share the same shoulder diameter and angle. In fact in an effort to minimize costs I use the 375 Ruger FL die as a body taper/shoulder bump die. I had a Whidden 338 RCM bushing die and I use that to neck size the 7mm necks. If you had to get a custom die set I would seriously consider using Whidden. You will get your dies fast and they will be high quality. How about bullet Seating? I used the chamber reamer to recut the sliding pilot tube in a 7 Rem mag Redding competition die. You could certainly do the same with a 338 Win mag comp die. I think the 338/375 Ruger would be a great round. Brass is readily available. I would use 330 Dakota load data and work up carefully. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [/QUOTE]
