[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 616892, member: 39764"] Not familiar with Lee presses. I have a couple Dillons for pistol calibers and a Rockchucker for the bottleneck cases. I will take considerable effort to F/L Resize a .338 case and less for a neck size. Time to buy some dies I suspect. I never prime on the press, I always hand prime but that's my choice. I like to 'feel' every primer in relationship to the base..... .338's are a bit more involved to reload/resize. You'll need bushing dies and you'll have to determine the neck tension in relationship to the projectile you load. I'd recommend a front load seater die. I like them and they keep you from getting pinched fingers......:) Brand is entirely your choice. I'm sure someone will chime in about what brand is best. My personal choice is RCBS Gold Medal Match dies, but just my choice and not necessarily the best choice. Been widely discussed on this site that the Hornady brass won't hold a primer after it's cycled. I can't speak for that because after reading about the Hornady ammunition on here, I purposely didn't get any.... Got the junk PPU instead........:rolleyes: I will say that Hornady makes some fime brass for .223 Remington. I've been using it for many years to load bench rest comp rounds with no issues other than the necks getting too hard, which I'm addressing with an annealer. [/QUOTE]
