    Borrow 338 Federal or 358 Win FL die in Chch please?

    Hi, just wondering if anyone in Chch has a 338 Federal or 358 Win die I can borrow? I've recently reloaded 20x 308 Win, just went to use them at the range and they won't chamber. From some careful measurements it looks like I didn't have the die quite set right (sorry, still a bit of a rookie), and looks like the shoulder needs to be bumped about 0.2mm down to be within spec (they were previously fired in a different rifle, I'm guessing that's partly why I've had this issue). I'm hoping that I can use the larger calibre die to bump the shoulder down without having to pull all the projectiles.

    I'm making the assumption its a bad idea to try and resize a loaded cartridge in the original die, as don't want the neck to be resized with a projectile in place...
