338 SS split dies and fired ADG brass measuring .006 at the web

[MAD10]

Anyone splitting 338SS FL sizing dies ?

Anyone measuring fired ADG brass .006 at the web ?

If so, I’d like to hear from you.

** I'm running the B version on all components

Are your dies and chamber for/from the same reamer?
A or B type?

B

Dang. It sounds like brass fired in an A chamber trying to be squeezed in a B die.
Don’t know what to tell you, there.
Unless the reamer isn’t sized correctly.
Did it just start or has it been ok in the past?

nope 100% B version in all components...

by the way what bullet, FPS and what length barrel?

 

[Phil Rizzo]

I’m using A chamber 7ss,
N565
160 BT
2995fps

And anxiously awaiting a 25SS reamer.
Ive been around a lot of Sherman’s but a .006 expansion is a new one to Me.
Talked to Rich?

Did not see the 0.006 expansion @ the web. That is a lot. Especially given how tough ADG brass is in that area.

What is your load?
How.many firings on brass?
What dies? Hornady or custom?

Outside a defective die I seen them split when trying to squeeze a web under virgin size much especially on tough mag cases. ADG makes a tough case.

I’m simply trying to gain data on the 338 SS and if shooters have had these experiences …

Are you actually having these problems? Or just asking about them?

Literally have both problems and want to learn if others have and what they did about it
