Thread: Reloading the .338 Lapua

Use Lapua brass , you will get about 10 reloads out of it normally , like its been said , donot use Norma brass in this calibre , as you will get only 1-2 firings out of IT , before its toast .

I would steer clear of redding dies in this calibre , because I have heard of a few shooters buying redding dies in this calibre and when sizing actually splitting the die in two , I would look at forester .

Also be aware some brass makers use slightly different head sizes , a shell holder that fits Lapua brass , will not fit RUAG brass .

If hunting use Sierra , if punching paper , use Lapua , and use 250gr , unless you are shooting past 1500m , then look at 300gr .
