[QUOTE="Edd, post: 1032786, member: 30592"] You need to adjust the die so the press will cam over. Screw your die up until you can raise the ram to its fully extended position. Now screw the die down by hand until it stops against the shell holder. Make a mark on top of the die with a sharpie and lower the ram. Using the sharpie mark as a reference, screw the die down an additional 1/2 turn and lock it. Now,without a case in it, you should be able to raise the ram and feel some resistance as it cams over. Lube your case body well because a 338 case is considerably larger at the shoulder. If that doesn't size it correctly, I have no other suggestions without holding it in my hands and looking at it.
