[QUOTE="justgoharder, post: 213796, member: 4793"] First off - I am by no means an expert, so hopefully some of them will chime in a help out a bit. that being said, I too, have used a dillion 550, using it i found that i really ended up using it one stage at a time and most importantly I hand measured the powder charge for each and every load for my 300RUM. I, too, like redding dies, i bought full length dies. the way i do it with my dillion 550 is to take preped brass, then lube that cases, size the case and put a new primer in, all in the first station. then i take the brass and add a hand measured powder charge. then once all the cases are full of powder i take them back to the press and put one in at a time and put them trough the next die to place the bullet. I don't think the powder charge on the 550 is anywhere near accurate enough for a magnum rifle, so plan on using a scale. I can't really help with specific powders or loads for the 338 but do a search, there is tons of info here. good luck! [/QUOTE]
