[QUOTE="TwoMore, post: 1354364, member: 95166"] I use r-p brass on mine, my reamer is a longer throat but not stepped, I step up 300 rum in one pass but the brass I use was all new,I use a 300 rum fl S bushing redding with a .362 bushing gives me a .003 interference fit on just cleaned up necks, my loaded size is .365. I dont have to bump back every shot, when I check my case datum length I am usually about .001 under on a fired case but if it does get tight the 300 rum die does great..I also have a 300 rum and a 338 rum , I use the 338 rum comp seater to seat with and it does fine, I rarely have to adjust for concentricity[B].
