[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1877197, member: 10755"] Firstly, the 338WM dies will NOT function correctly for what you're trying to do, the WM case is not only fatter but also longer. I recommend you buy a set of 338-06AI Redding Deluxe dies, they come with FL, NECK & Seater dies. I have a 338-06 myself, I simply run the 06 cases into the FL die to open the neck, load then shoot with my chosen load. I also run a few Improved cases, I fireform using Universal, TP (toilet paper), COW and soap or wax to seal while transporting. YouTube has plenty of video relating to this technique of fireforming. I also recommend you have the headspace checked by a competent gunsmith, all AI chambers should have .003-.005" NEGATIVE head clearance to the datum on UNFIRED PARENT BRASS. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
