[QUOTE="calinb, post: 2161118, member: 31242"] I'm tired of waiting to shoot my new 300 PRC because of no brass so I'm thinking about ordering some Hornady 416 Ruger brass (the only viable brass I can find). I also have a full length Redding S-type 300 PRC die on order with Creedmoor, which is allegedly being held for my Lapua brass to arrive to ship out my entire order but I could split my order and have Creedmoor ship it order in two shipments. Then if I order a cheap Lee 416 full length sizer for the first sizing step, I should be able to make 300 PRC brass! :) Yup--I see on the prints that the 300 PRC shoulder is pushed back slightly farther than the 375. Is the setup challenge in dealing with the shoulder push back? Might a good strategy be to not try to get the shoulder fully pushed back on the first pass with the 338 RCM die but rather concentrate on just sizing the neck to the intermediate 338 and then go to the 300 PRC die? If more shoulder push back is then required, I might try either a thinner (face milled) shell holder (which I already have for pushing back WSSM shoulders) with the 300 PRC die or I could even use my 300 RCM die (I have both 300 and 338 RCM dies) to push the shoulder back a bit more. (Being a thinner holder, shell holder contact is then not limiting in the setup). I have some experience with necking a few cartridges up and down, but I've never made this big of a caliber change. Should I buy more than one box of 416 brass or wait until I prove my ability to even do this. Brass supplies are scarce and becoming more scarce. Even 416 brass may not be available much longer! I guess I could order a [URL='https://www.brunoshooters.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=333']Hornady[/URL] overall length [URL='https://www.brunoshooters.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=333']Modified 300 PRC case[/URL] too, which might help me to setup the 338 RCM die. Thanks for any feedback and thoughts. [/QUOTE]
