[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 445001, member: 25383"] a 30-06 case length is 2.494, where as a .338 case is 2.50". If you build the cases out of .338 brass you will end up with a case length shorter than the 2.50" (probably shorter than the 30-06 at that) after fire forming. It would appear to me that your best case to use as a parent case is either the .308 Norma or the .300 Winchester. When you do your final trim before loading the fire forming loads; cut your overall length to where it's about .005" under max over length allowed in the chamber. The case will shorten a little bit depending on how much the shoulders and body have to move to fire form. gary [/QUOTE]
