[QUOTE="6.5x300, post: 216304, member: 10713"] Recently formed several .338 edge brass from .375 RUM brass. I also have a Pac-Nor 30" straight tube on a savage 110. I would first run new brass through a .375 RUM die to straiten up any dents in bass. Than I would neck it down alittle at a time using a .338 RUM die. I would use my chamber as a guide. Starting out with brass that would not allow me to close the bolt because I had not set the shoulder back enough. Then continuing to adjust the die till it sized the new brass just enough to close the bolt. Once I found this setting I tighten the set screw on the die. It should now be set for your individual chamber. It would seem that since we are necking down brass, any problems with new brass have to short of a shoulder would be solved by the false shoulder we create. I certainly don't claim to be an expert, there are many here that are. This is just what worked for me. Hope it helps. Good to see fellow shooters out here in the Pacific Northwest. [/QUOTE]
