[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 3086260, member: 101791"] My sons have one each also. I made a friend in Hemet Cal a long time ago. He built the rifles for me. All build on M-98 actions. i would also lose cases in about 3 firing. I took a 300Win Mag neck sizing die and used it for reloading my 308NM rifle. It only size about 2/3 to 3/4 of the neck. I haven't use the rifle in a long time. So I don't totally recall if I had to full length the cases from time to time. I don't think I did. I went from 3 firing to 12 or so firing. Never lost a case after that. Primers became my problem after that. It's not a big problem in sizing Win 300 mag case to 308 NM cases. So the cost is greatly reduced in getting cases to reload with. Now with Peterson Brass and other out there you can get far better brass that at the time I was using that rifle. I generally us a 338WM rifle now. I am getting 3200fps out of a 200gr Noslers ADB or B.T., but I don't like the powder I am using. So I am having new 338WM in a 28" being built presently. I am hopping that I can get the velocity up a little more, and use a more stable powder than W760. ome more thing is annealing cut down on case neck separation too. [/QUOTE]
