[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2224347, member: 101791"] Yes you would need to get a bushing FL bushing die in whatever cartridge you are sizing for. Purchasing different bushing to do the job. I am sure there would be a few step down from overall size to finish case size. This is how I am looking at it. I think I would step down at least 3 time and more likely 4 time to create the case .264 caliber. Now I have in the past taken 30/06 case and FL sized them down to 25/06 case and check for length in one step, but the cases already had there shoulders in place. You would need good lube, and not to heavy to dent the case. Go slow in starting the sizing. Possible you may crush a case or 2 getting the hang of it. The overall case length is I believe long enough to build a long belted magnum case as in their in long 300 WM case. The reason for that was to able to bump the shoulder back .002 to reduce the case stretch at the base. The other way is to neck size the case afterwards, and only FL the case when it get tight in the chamber. I know that in 2000 I use to FL size my belted magnum case and loose them in 3 to 4 firing due to case stretch. I changed to neck sizing my belted magnum, then I would loose the cases with the primer pocket would get to big. I just sent off an email to Redding Reloading asking for their input. That may take until next week before I hear back from them. I have written to them before and had gotten good info from them. I will post it after I get it. It maybe a surprise to Redding, but I have a feeling that Peterson talk to others that build resizing dies about this. The case aren't cheap, but it sure would help to be able to build your own case for rifle. The worst of it for me is I shoot a 308 Norma Mag cartridge with is shorter at the shorter at the shoulder and has a longer neck. My son also use the same cartridge too. So I will end up having 3 special order FL bushing die to have built for us. [/QUOTE]
