[QUOTE="GLTaylor, post: 2189178, member: 111593"] That's a lot of case movement - 30 to 338 and back to 30. Try a couple using only sizing to 30. Use about 20 grs of Bullseye with No COW, put some rolled up tissue in the case mouth, and fire it. You may have to go up some in Bullseye. I formed 338 Sherman like this and it worked fine coming from 270 in one step. You'll probably have to remove your ejector so the bolt can hold the case still/snug. (Hold the barrel at an upward angle when firing) You're still gonna have to use bullets for final forming. [/QUOTE]
