[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1472525, member: 11960"] That turned out really well and the performance is right there with what you were hoping for. I love the fact that you ended up at 77.0gr H4350 when my go to load for years has been 76.5gr H4350. When I get a little more time I'll get around to testing the reformed 8x68s brass to see how it compares to the Hornady cases. [img]https://i.imgur.com/drivbXT.jpg?1[/img] left to right: 8x68s, 8x68 trimmed to length and necked to 375 then down to 338 to make a false shoulder, 8x68s case fired in a 338/375 Ruger chamber [img]https://i.imgur.com/pvtSonB.jpg?2[/img] Fireforming load using a 277gr MTAC and Trailboss powder next to a fireformed case. I just happen to have a bunch of the MTACs sitting around that I won't use for anything else, so I used them to fireform. The freebore on that reamer isn't super long so I'm not sure how much further out you can seat the bullets. I've got my .338 PTG Uni-Throater here though if you end up wanting to open it up a little more. [/QUOTE]
