308 Win Lapua Brass Bushing Size

[crossg]

I realize this had been asked before but just wanted some confirmation on my bushing size. I'm building a 308 win with a pacnor barrel and trued 700 action and was going to have it chambered with a .342 neck reamer. I have 100 lapua brass on order and I'm going to shoot 155gr Berger Vld. From what I have read a loaded round with unturned lapua brass will run .338. So I was thinking of ordering .334, .335 and.336 bushing for my Full length type S dies. Would that pretty much cover it? Thanks for your time and any response would be appreciated.

Gary I'd say you have it covered. I'd say the .336 and .335 for sure and would bet the .336 is what you would use....chris

Gary: yes, the .336" will probably be your first choice. My loaded 308 with Lapua is .338", for my chamber neck of .343". Also have .334", .332", and .330" if/when wanting to use Winchester and "other" brass for short-range.
