Chamber a 338 edge with a 338 rum reamer?

Who has done this? Let's try and avoid the "it doesn't say edge so you shouldn't do it"

edit: let's add in that we would use a 338 rum fl die to resize all but the bottom .091" for normal fl setback

Will it work? Maybe. Is taper the same I haven't checked? Don't be a cheap *** buy the correct reamer

You just broke the rule

Use a 300 rum then finish it off with the 338 rum...or just get the correct reamer.

Shoulder will be .001 larger. Might eventually be tough on brass. I don't know for sure.

I must be missing something. Explain that differently please. By my math, the base to shoulder is .091" longer.

Why not run the 338 rum reamer in .091" further and avoid using 2 reamers?

On that note, what if you use a 338 rum fl die to resize?

You wouldn't be able to size the case completely.
