Thread: 338 lapua issues.

Gidday everyone,

Just picked up some gen3 Hornady dies to get this show on the road but theres a thing or two Im struggling with.

I was given some once fired cases (not lapua they have T as the head stamp) and seated a projectile in one for a display piece so has not been resized in anyway. It fits in the rifle nicely with only a smidgen of force to close the bolt so not to bad upto that point.

Now FL resized another piece of brass and trimmed to 2.710inch as I was recommended for this chamber (savage 110 FCP) then went to chamber the brass to see if all was well and well it's not great. It requires more force than I'm willing to give it to chamber.

Anyone had any similar issues and can shed some light? I'm assuming a neck die will sort it but too impatient as I have the opportunity to test fire tonight so want to make sure everything is good before pulling the trigger.

Cheers,
Dan.
