    New to .338 Lapua - Need Die input

    I have the Sinclair's equivalent headspace comparator and a box of 100 Lapua empty cases. The thing I don't have is a loaded round. I've had some on order for months and can't find loaded ammunition anywhere. I want to compare my empty Lapua cases to a loaded Lapua round to see if I...

    Anyone else with tips for using the redding dies or possibly the headspace on a loaded lapua cartridge?

    8208 for 155's in .308?

    I use it under 147 gr Pulldowns and 150 Grain Hornaday SP's. Love em. Shot my best group ever with pulldowns, 1.125"! Best for me, I'm not that great yet.

    Thanks, Layton Should I use the body die and then neck size in that order when the case shows signs of insufficient headspace? If you don't normally use the expander ball, how to you decap? Do you do it in a separate step prior? Also, anyone know the headspace measurement of a factory...

    Thanks, Chris. Man, I spent all last night searching on this site, google and Youtube and couldn't get a definitive answer. Do you .338 guys almost exclusively neck size for the first 3 or 4 loadings and then JUST do the FL die on the 4th or 5th loading? What if the neck is out of round? The...

    They don't sell that one in a set, though? So I should have just put them together piecemeal? Why would anyone buy a set, then? Does anyone else think I need the bushing FL die, too? Does anyone else swear by it?

    This is the set I bought. http://www.brownells.com/reloading/reloading-dies/rifle-dies/redding-body-dies-category-iii-cartridges-prod38261.aspx?avs|Manufacturer_1=REDDING&avs|Cartridge_1=DCC_338%20Lapua I didn't even see where they sold a Bushing Neck and full length bushing die together.

    I just have the standard FL sizer with no bushing. When I need to bump the should back, can I bump it with the FL and then neck size it in 2 steps?

    I have the FL die that came with the set. There's no bushing in it, though.

    New to .338 Lapua - Need Die input

    So I got the dies today and I'm glad I sprang for the Type S and the competition seater with micrometer. I read through the directions, and everything looks good. I have one question: If I decide I need to use the FL die after cycling a casing a couple times, do I neck size first and then FL...

    Rifle Scopes Trouble Bore sighting my NXS 8-32 with Zero stops

    So, I tried getting more elevation adjustment out of the turrets, but no joy. I set up the gun on some sandbags and effectively bore sighted it to a roadsign at about 250 yards. It zeroed with about 6 milrads left of downward elevation. I have my fingers crossed, but I think I'm ok.

    Rifle Scopes Trouble Bore sighting my NXS 8-32 with Zero stops

    Thanks for the tips. I just don'w want to blow through 10 rounds of .338 before I get this thing sighted in. I did pick up the Larue LT112 with 20 MOA cant for almost half price used today, so I'll have that as a backup. Thanks again, fellas

    Rifle Scopes Trouble Bore sighting my NXS 8-32 with Zero stops

    Thanks for the reply. I don't understand the first sentence, though. I did pickup a LT112 in the interim. If all else fails, I can run this backwards and still get 10 MOA of elevation from it.

    Hey guys, Not gonna lie, kind of new to long range optics and rifles. This is my first long range precision gun, and I went big so I wouldn't regret it. I have an MRAD with 30 MOA of elevation on the receiver. I have a regular ADM mount with no elevation built in. I just got my laser...

    Who will make my 300 GR 338 Lapua projectiles?

    I just checked Brownells and Midway, and it appears that Berger and Sierra no longer make them. Anyone else stepping up to the plate?

    Love Vortex CS. How easy it it to deform the body of an aluminum scope?
