[QUOTE="Brent, post: 25911, member: 99"] Redding S dies is what I'd recommend. Get a .337" and a .338" bushing and you'll be set if you're using unturned brass. I had to turn a couple thou of my necks to get the .335" bushing to work, as it reduced the neck to .332" - .3325". The .334" bushing was useless, as it just puled the neck way down too far. The .335" bushing was leaving me with .303" ID so I was forced to use the expander to bring them open to .3055" ID or neck tension was absurd. I'm shooting the 178 A-Max over 95gr RL25 right now. It shoots really nice at .050" off the lands at this near max load. I haven't checked the BC yet, but will get it done soon. This is the most accurate bullet out of my gun thus far, and really consistant too. I'm getting about 3300 fps exactly with a 26" bbl with this load over the Oehler. I imagine the A-Max would blow big holes through black bear just as the Ballistic Tip does, at least at fairly close range. After 3 or 400 yards the hides should stay together pretty well, leaves lots of sewing if their shot up close though. They die **** near in their tracks when hit though!
