[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 968376, member: 48043"] I'd set your sizing die long and possibly run new brass over a 30 cal expander and bring your brass down again afterwards.... My current stw was reamed a bit long also. I think I'm in the ten to fifteen thou. long range... I'd have to check to be exactly sure but I've got a sheet of paper's gap between the sizing die and shell-holder when she's properly set. I've just let them go and run them through a properly set die for subsequent loadings, but with the brass availability today I think I'll likely be necking to provide a headspace point on the shoulder for any more new brass. I think I've got 100 loaded and squirreled away I need to do this with. As to powder, I think rl25 would work, but 50bmg, rl50, retumbo, rl33, and a few of the slower Vit/ norma powders are better choices as they fill the case better than the mid-magnum powders do. Especially up here where it gets below zero you want to try for hot ignition and full cases for hunting loads. [/QUOTE]
