Are these the only dies I need to reload 338 norma magnum?

I'm trying to reload match 338 norma mag ammo. I'm a new reloader just spent a shitton on reloading gear and now I need dies.

Yes, but for a few bucks more get the one with the micrometer adjustment, it will pay for itself the first time you use it by saving you $100 in frustration

Re: Are these only dies I need to reload 338 norma?

should I use these dies or get the custom redding 3 die set?

if I use the two dies do I need any other dies?

If money isn't an object get some Type S Full Length Redding dies so you can adjust your neck tension. It's a 2 die set that lets you full length size while using a neck bushing and has a micrometer seater. I really like Redding stuff.
