[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1023445, member: 48043"] I use either a 300win or 338win die with the shoulder set long (to stw dimensions) then I final form using my fl stw die and a mild load (start load) to blow out the shoulder. You will want to set your dies so the action is a bit stiff to get decent forming without a lot of stretch above the belt. You may also want to jamb the bullet into the lands for even more brass support. Be a bit generous with the lube; you'll get the feel after a few cases as to how much lube you really need. I've done over 100 cases and some are still in use from my last rifle. I haven't done any lately as I got into a bunch of remmy 7stw brass the last time it was available. I do have some [EMAIL="375H@H"]375H@H[/EMAIL] cases that haven't been touched yet that will either go to my stw or 375 depending on who needs cases though. Feel free to ask more on this if you want. I have done the pistol powder and baby cereal way to form cases too, but the mild load works much better for me and I get trigger time while I'm making brass. [/QUOTE]
