The 458 win mag is too narrow at the shoulder but a 416 mag looks big enough to reach the bulge without messing with the rest of the brass.

It finally dawned on me that the .458 is a straight walled case. Small base would not be the correct name.

I have the Willis die. Slow and messy. Now I am thinking about a .458 Win Mag sizing die. I doubt that a small base die is needed. Does anyone even make a small base .458 WM sizing die?

VV N310 would be my recommendation if price and availability was not an issue.

Bullseye is smokey and dirty but very easy to clean up. Not position sensitive at all. BE can be very accurate. Lots of National Championships have been won with it. Like most reloading, BE is not recommended for fools or those prone to mistakes. I have not counted how many 2.7 grain loads of...

I use a Kestrel 5500 with link. AB app on my phone. Works great.

As a young man, don't bother with collecting nice rifles and pistols and do not buy a new truck. Do not waste money on building hot rods or any other expensive hobby. Buy your first house as soon as you can. Quit paying rent. Buy good hunting land! It is more rewarding to hunt your own 40 acres...

Forget the hot rod cars and trucks, they are a waste of money and they will make you deaf. Profoundly deaf above 2,000 hertz in my case. Buy land! Take note that most self made millionaires made their money in real estate. Buy land!

Contact Lapua! I think they will be very interested in examining this entire batch of brass. Something went wrong in the manufacture of that brass.

"It Ain't What You Don't Know That Gets You Into Trouble. It's What You Know for Sure That Just Ain't So" A favorite saying of Will Rodgers and many other philosophers but the concept dates back before recorded history. To keep it on topic, I don't concern myself much with the chronograph...

That is the beginning of wisdom.

I switched to AB and I am very happy with it. I probably won't pay for Strelok again if it ever becomes available.

For me, various android phones and tablets
