Hi all, i'm looking for some advice for reloading for the .338 Lapua Magnum, I've decided to sell my .300 win mag and take the next big step. I've ordered a Savage 110 .338 with the HS precision stock, but as you can imagine, I want to reload to avoid spending stupid amounts of money on ammo. I have a Lee Challenger press, and indeed to use Berger 300 grain OTM hybrid bullets, Norma brass and probably ADI 2225, but can anyone recommend a set of dies? I will be shooting long range, mainly metallic silhouette targets and want to push out to 2k eventually. I've read that neck sizing isn't enough for repeated loadings for the .338, and using a FL die to "bump" the shoulder is recommended, but can someone explain what this means? And what die/dies will I need? In the past I have just neck-sized for the .308 and .300 WM, (both bolt actions) and my knowledge of the reloading terminology is probably a little rusty. Accuracy is obviously important so I don't mind paying for decent gear, if need be. I would prefer not to buy a new press, but I will if I need to. I have read that Redding dies are supposed to be very good.
Any advice is appreciated, cheers
