338 Edge Dies

[TwoMore]

First post here I also started using the 338rum rcbs dies first with great results , I use remington brass, I did try some nosler 7rum brass but it seemed to doughnut on me, I just recently started to touch up my necks and went to a 300 rum s bushing redding die with a 338 rum seater and a .362 bushing, I use a .364 bushing for the untouched necks , sometimes i wonder why i even try different stuff on this rifle it even shoots new, necked up brass lights out lol and the rcbs dies are real uniform on runout for me gun)

RCBS does make a 338 edge die set.
That's what I have and have been using for, well since I got my edge built.

Interesting, I was going to use my Redding 300 RUM bushing die with a larger bushing but Redding said the neck clearance was 0.350" so the .338 brass wouldn't fit. If that was indeed the case. I never tried and just bought the .338-300 die.

I use a set of Lee 338 RUM dies. It has a very gentle expander and does a good job bumping shoulders and seating bullets.

I also use a gutted 375 RUM die for any full length sizing duties.

Works well for me, and is very affordable.

I have read where guys have bought 300 RUM redding sizers and they had to be reamed but mine didnt, I just ordered the bushings for the 338 and it worked out fine, but I used rcbs 338 rum dies for a few years and was happy untill I started to even up my neck thickness and needed to change my finish size.
