Shawn also has hydro forming dies for sale or rent if you go with the Terminator +P. The forming of the brass is not hard at all and should not be an issue.
One question, why wouldn't you go with Terminator +P!?
Just my thoughts, if you are spending that kind of money, why not get one of the baddest ***** cartridges ever conceived! Unless you are shooting ALOT, the difference in price of the components in a year would be negligible. And the performance doesn't compare!
Not to hijack the thread, but are you guys seeing more velocity out of the NV500 series powders? I have a 338AX and a HS precision 338 Lapua that uses H1000. I am considering having the 338 changed to an improved to gain some velocity. My goal was to stick to a 26 inch barrel but you guys seem to either be in better shape or not have to pack a rifle into the mountains for a long hike?
Heres a funny one for you. I have a packer, but I packed my rig gun about 45 days this season one day 9 mile,just love the ergonomics of that rifle, and was in some big burn type area where I could launch..gun)
I have considered buying or trading for a 338 Allen Magnum but I didn't want to pack the rifle around. I have shot one in West Virginia and it is an awesome round for long range. It was about as heavy as my TAC 50 was.
