[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1204366, member: 7999"] Thanks Joe, I don't know what reamer your smith used to do your chamber. The 30-338 Lap imp is not standard by any means. There are many versions out there. So before you buy one that is off the shelf make sure it will match. The hydraulic die looks very intriguing to me. I am sorry to hear that it did not work for you. We have too many wildcats to get involved with them now. $150 for each rifle seems like it will be easier to stick with the COW method. FWIW the COW method gets about 95% (maybe at bit better) formed brass. Close enough that we have not been able to tell the diff between first firing and second firing after forming. So in other words the shoulder still has a small radius after fire forming. Steve [/QUOTE]
