[QUOTE="ShadowAviator, post: 2966018, member: 124813"] I have both Lee and CH4D dies. The lee die doesn't seem to form the shoulder back far enough when I check it with my case gauge. Like maybe 1 or 2 thousandth short. This could be tolerance stacking or something. I need to try a different shell holder. Anyway, my main die is the CH4D. Lightly lube 358 case with imperial sizing wax. Run through the 375 Raptor FL die once, then clean off lube. (So one step from 358 to 375) Check headspace with case gauge (usually perfect with the CH4D die). Then trim til perfect according to case gauge. I have heard of guys going from 308 straight to 375, but I assume that was new brass. Once-fired brass might be harder and prone to cracks. [/QUOTE]
