Thread: Borrow 338 Federal or 358 Win FL die in Chch please?

Ok, so they work fine in my break open Bergara (where the cases have previously been fired), so I'll put them aside labelled only for that rifle, and start again for the bolt action! I feel a bit better about that, at least I'm not having a bunch of "wasted" work.

Have now sized and double checked the empty cases. I was getting a "false stop" on the press, obviously where the shoulder was, just needed another wee push to set it back and bottom out on the die properly. I guess that's the downside of the lighter weight alloy Lee press compared to something a bit beefier. I noticed using the much heavier press (RCBS I think) at the clubrooms (longer lever arm for a start) is much stronger, less of a workout when resizing brass.
