[QUOTE="woods, post: 456971, member: 6042"] Thanks dodgefan and you too Buttermilk If you are necking down a 35 Whelen, which die did you use and did you have to do an interim step? The reason I ask is that in necking down a 375 Ruger case to 30 caliber for a 30/375 Ruger I have to use a 338 RCM FL die and then a 338 RCM Neck die to get the neck down. If I go straight to 30 caliber it will compress the case and crush it. I think the normal amount recommended to downsize is no more than .035" or so. Going from the 35 Whelen to 30 caliber is possible in one operation? So I suppose I could use a 338 win mag or 338 RUM neck sizer and then a 30 caliber. I found some 35 Whelen cases on Midway so getting some will not be a problem. [/QUOTE]
