[QUOTE="David Lindler, post: 2008282, member: 106144"] 338 usually measure around .364-.365. If using a bushing die reduce this to a 362-360 bushing. Several things can cause a sticky case. 1. Check the amount of shoulder bump. Take a fired case and bump the shoulder farther back a few thousandths at a time until the bolt will close on the case with ease. Try reducing case neck size with smaller bushing in die. Check overall case length. Your chamber may be tight with not much free bore. May have to seat bullet a little deeper. Load around and keep adjusting bullet depth deeper until the bolt closes easy on a loaded around. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
