[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 1175722, member: 9172"] Swamplord, I am not 100% sure, but I think that the neck clearance in a 300 RUM body die is WAY south of 338. If you run your 338 brass through the 300 RUM die it will neck it down close to .308. I know I have several body dies in different calibers. When i neck 6.5-47 L brass down to 6 mm ,the first thing I do is run them through the 6-6.5-47 body die and that smoothly reduces the neck diameter way down. Same with making a Dasher case...neck the 6mmBR case up to .257 and then run it through the body die to take it most of the way back down. I recently expanded my 6.5-284 brass up to .277 because of what I thought to be excessive headspace on new brass. Took them most of the way back down with the body die. I then finished the job with the neck die to create a false sholder. I would run ONE through and check it. Tod [/QUOTE]
