neck sizing bushing for 338 lapua

[patrick021]

i used a rcbs FL sizer die and loaded a bullet in the case it measured .366. I bought a .364 and a .363 bushing but my bullet can still be pushed in the casing. Should i just keep going down a thousand at a time or what size do you use on lapua brass? Thanks in advance

I use 365 steel redding bushing with 338 lapua brass and 300 gr otm bergers

i am down to a .363 and can put it against a table with little pressure and the bullet will push into the casing should i keep going down until it holds?

my loaded rounds are 366.5 to 367 with virgin lapua brass. What brass are you using? What bullet? Have you measured the actual bushing with micrometer? I have measured redding bushing that have actually been smaller or larger than they stated on the bushing.
