[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 2874920, member: 29370"] we are certainly having the same experience…. it should be no problem going from .284 to .338 many including Rich say as much. I agree with notion these cases being too soft … I also agree with another comment about the 40° shoulder being sensitive to crushing the suggestion of an 8mm mandrel as a second step is sound I tried using two different lubes imperial dry lube which I’ve always used and Hornady’s unique either prevented the problem Hoping the longer shaft and more gradual taper in the LE Wilson mandrel will reduce or eliminate the issue.
