What custom dies are people using for a 338 Norma AI? I have whidden FL and they suck. I have them for two other cartridges and dealing with the same problem. They barely resize the brass. The resizing die is almost two full turns from touching the shell holder. Any closer and the shoulder bump...

Can someone stop by Tikka and see if they are offering a 7 PRC this year?

4831sc has been my first choice. h4350 is my second pic. re23 was so so. I've heard good things about re16 in the swede.

Best design I’ve seen yet. Well done.

Info please

Sounds like a lube issue. The right amount on some brass and not enough on others. On a side note, OP, if you are using quality brass like lapua, alpha, or peterson, I would aim for 3-4 thousands shoulder bump. Its never affected the life of the brass with good brass. If hornady brass than just...

Did Kelbly build it for you? Let me know if you need some dies.

Just sharing my .02, take it with a grain of salt.

Correct.

I've looked at a lot of reamer prints for the swede AI and Improved versions. Everything on yours looks good. Might see if its possible to change the base/P1 from .479 to .4794 , I know that is not much but I had a 6.5 gwi that was giving me clickers and the base was too tight in the web at...

You’ll hit 3000 easy. The 6.5 addiction which is a 37 degree improved Swede with a 10 thousand freebore shoots Berger 140s 3000 fps in a short action.

I'm currently shooting a 6.5x55 Improved 35 degree shoulder. Has a 70 thousand freebore. I'm shooting berger 130 hybrids 3050 fps with 52 gn of H4831SC in a short action, 23" hawkhill barrel braked. Coal is 2.96" and bullet jump is a couple thousands from the lands with that coal. Bearing...

Will a 1-8 twist barrel stabilize 80 gn bullets in a 16.5" barrel?

I had a 6.5x55 improved chamber that was giving me clickers after a couple reloads. I had a set of custom whidden dies made after the clickers showed up and sent in 4x fired brass. The new custom dies still didn't help. Would still get clickers. My opinion its a chamber issue. Just too tight in...
