[QUOTE="liltank, post: 354540, member: 13275"] I can answer two of your question. The one about dies can be done two ways. One is getting the demensions of your reamer and sending a copy of the blue prints to the reamer to the die maker of your choice. I know that Redding dies can make you specialty dies, but they require the above. Or you could send your reamer to them for more accurate construction. Another way is to fire form your rounds and send three fired casings to RCBS or Hornady. They will make you the dies to match. I will say that they will be rather costly. As far as powders are concerned, they are the same as any other. They will cost the same, its just that you will be loading 150 to 200 grains of powder. It will be consuming powder at a very high rate. Therefore it would pay to buy the 8# kegs once you find a powder that works. My cousin only gets 65 reloads to a 1# of powder for his 338 Lapua at 92.2 grns of H1000. You will probably be using the slower stuff, like Retumbo, BMG50, IMR 7828, or H870 or an equivalent of. Others will be able to tell you good powder combo's because I do not own something this big. Tank [/QUOTE]
