No, not at all. It chambers and shoots fine until I get up to about 76.5 g of H1000. And now that I think about it, it shot fine with Hornady factory ammo going about 2980. Its just the sizing that buggers it up. I'll check around local and see what if any of the local Smith's have come up...

I measured the diameter of the base just above the rim on a new case and a sized case with a micrometer and got 0.004 larger on the sized case.

I would rather not go the custom route if I can avoid it. I sent off a message to Hornady about their match grade die. I had to try the Hornady because The Redding was not available when my rifle was done. It looks to be the same situation 3 months later. I measured the base of new brass and...

Boy, you may be correct. I just marked my case and ran it up the die and I can see 0.140 that is not sized. Great.

Using a black marker on the case it looks like the sizing stops about 0.140 short of full length. Can this be correct? I would expect it to go nearly all the way to the end of the case.

Thanks Greg, I'll check this out.

So, I put in a case and ran it up in the die. It appears to be 100 percent sized.

I am not sure I know how to answer that. I adjust the press and the Redding types s full length bushing die to bump the shoulder 0.002 with a slight cam over on the press. How would I determine how far the case goes into the die?

Hi Guys, Its a 300 PRC built around a trued remmington 700 LA connected to a 26" Bartlein 1:9. During load development shooting Hornady 212 ELDX in front of anything greater than 76.6 grains of H1000, the bolt hangs up slightly near the top of the throw. With a little more effort the bolt clicks...

I've used the large primer size for years and loved it. When I switched to precision shooting and small primers it's been a PIA. Stuck primers, crushed primers, I could go on and on. I shoot a lot so I need something similarly fast as the hand primer. Recommendations? Thanks!

Great. It's all on the way. Thanks for your help.

One more thing if you don't mind. I see a couple of reviews on the Hornady match and they mention using Redding bushings. Do you know if this is legit? Thanks

That sounds like just what I am looking for. The Hornady match die may even be easier to find. Thanks for your help I am going to see If I can find one.

Great info. Thank you. I was not aware of the tapered neck. I have a mandrel die, so I am thinking a .333 bushing with a mandrel. I am still short a bushing die so I'll look into the hornady.

Can someone who is shooting the 300 PRC provide some input on the neck bushing size please. I am trying to get it right on the first try. I know, I know, but trying anyway. I mainly shoot steel and prefer minimal tension. I am using Hornady brass (is there any other kind)? My calculations for...

Great! Thanks for the advice. I am on my way then.

Yes, internal.

Several posts back, Dave Tooley used the phrase "easy button" to describe the update from 300 win mag to 300 PRC. I am hoping that also applies to the Rem 338 win mag. My current config includes a detachable 3 round mag box that measures 3.70 inches. Will I be able to make the conversion with a...

Yup, your increments are too big. Use 0.2g

Thanks for the input Clearlight. I agree, hard cards have their place. Ill look at the Garmin a little harder. Thanks again.
