[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2726273, member: 116439"] What is the diameter of the neck with a bullet in it? If you size a case and the OD is .368 and the ID is .340 would mean that you have a wall thickness of 0.14 (.368 - .340=0.028/2=.014). Your ID of the brass after sizing to .340 should not be. Should be at least .336 to get 0.002 neck tension when loading a .338 bullet How are you measuring the wall thickness on the brass? Should be using a "Ball Micrometer" What brand dies are you using? How did you determine the neck tension using .338 SMK bullets? You may need to get Sizing Die with Bushings if you have thin wall brass. We use all Match Dies with Bushings to adjust to the wall thickness of the brass and tension. [/QUOTE]
