Reloading a .338 Lapua


Recommended Posts

My son just bought a Savage in .338 Lapua. I reload several other calibers already. My question is should I buy just a neck sizing die or a full length set. All the brass he has has been shot in his rifle. I believe just sizing the neck is the way to go. It will increase the life of the cases. So what is everyone else doing?

You will eventually need a way to bump the shoulder back. Neck sizing is wonderful, but it's not a forever thing. The brass will eventually grow to the point where clambering gets difficult. Then you'll need a way to bump the shoulder back a couple of thousandths.

The RIGHT way here would be to invest in BOTH.

Ditto on both.
