[QUOTE="partisan1911, post: 393115, member: 21115"] Thanks for the useful comments. I am using redding FL sizing die for my .338 Lapua. The cases have been fired once with no indications of high pressure after firing or cracking etc after sizing. Possibly the expander ball is not correct or I have them adjusted incorrectly? Obviously the inside case measurment needs to be just snug enough to hold the bullet in place for seating purposes but I don't know what that exact measurement is supposed to be. I bought two pilots for my trimmer thinking that maybe one was sized .338 on accident and a new one might be sized slightly smaller to fit inside the case but labeled for a .338 caliber. I also have a different brand of dies on order so I can measure the differences between the two. mikecr, thanks for your help? [/QUOTE]
