[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 949317, member: 10755"] For the best concentricity of your loaded ammo, the answer is no. You can use the 338 RUM die to seat your bullets because the neck portion is identical, but the rest of the case will not be supported by the die and cause eccentric seating. I would not try and put a 338 seater plug into a 308 die because it could damage the neck area of that die. Just buy the correct die set and be done with it. I just seated a bullet into a dummy 505 Gibbs with an incorrect die because I'm still waiting for the die set, the runout is .018" and there is a noticeable bend in the neck, obviously I will be pulling this and FL sizing this case in the PROPER die before I load it for good.
