[QUOTE="LongestShot, post: 1523990, member: 101776"] I agree, if there was only Hornady brass available to reload with I'd probably give up on reloading! There's been a lot of necking down and necking up as of late. I have the 338 federal and love it. Instead of necking cartridges down to get a 6mm cartridge I simply went with the 6mm Remington and knocked the shoulder out to 40 degrees to a AI (Ackley Improved) and called it a day. You end up with about a 10 % increase in powder capacity and pick up a couple hundred FPS. The nice thing about Ackley Improved is that you can use the standard 6mm cartridge and obtain great accuracy and you end up with a fully formed AI casing when you're done. Another plus about AI cases is that they tend not to grow even when you've shot them a few times. The 40% shoulder prevents cases from lengthening. [/QUOTE]
