[QUOTE="DUNEZRUNNER, post: 940352, member: 69037"] I bought a 338-378 Weatherby Accumark last October for elk season. Shot my elk with 250 gr partitions in factory Weatherby ammo at 550 yds. I would like to shoot a more efficient bullet and am looking at the 250-300 gr Bergers and AMAX's. I have been loading for other calibers but would really like to get the most out of this rifle out to at least 1000yds and more when I can range accurately past that. What type of die should I be getting for this? Neck size and bump shoulder ever couple of firings? Use the full length die to bump shoulder and neck size or completely full length size? I have read here that a lot of people are using bushing dies to size the necks. I don't see any offered for the Weatherby, but could get some custom made if this would be the best route. Are there any other tips or tricks that I should be doing to get the best out of this rifle. Thanks for the help Thomas [/QUOTE]
