[QUOTE="Despotes, post: 1215125, member: 90326"] I fireformed some 338 Lapua ammo today in my 338 Lapua Improved (Langley) and noticed the cases had shrunk in length. Unfired 338 Lapua case length @ 2.716" shrank down to an average of 2.688" after fireforming. How much shrinkage is acceptable? No Constanza jokes. lol Here's the reamer print if it helps [U][URL="http://s426.photobucket.com/user/Scottyman_01/media/338%20LANGLEY_zpsqsxzlgxy.jpg.html"][IMG]http://i426.photobucket.com/albums/pp343/Scottyman_01/338%20LANGLEY_zpsqsxzlgxy.jpg[/IMG][/URL][/U] [/QUOTE]
