338 Lapua Load help

[Nellej12]

Matt, do you resize at the range? If so how do you do it, with a portable system you take along? Just wondering because I like the idea of one brass testing and I'm just getting into the 338 lapua world, collecting stuff right now. I'm not new, been doing this for over 40 years, but still interested in hearing how you do it. FL, bumping, neck size, etc.....Thanks a lot. HB

I have been using a FL bushing die and getting great results for a hunting rifle. Shot an elk last week at 650 yards. This pic is from 1,000 yards, 5 inch group.

I can take my press to range and we have a clubhouse to load in. I usually test to where i can go with one case and do it at home. The reason I use one case is because sometimes it takes multiple firings for sizing problems to show up. By reloading and sizing multiple times and going up, i can see where the pressure and problems start to show up and I only use up one case. Yes I full length size everytime and usually with a .002 bump. Matt

Ok, thanks for the info I will try that method once I get things going. It will be after the first of the year. Collecting all the little expensive stuff right now to make it happen. Gun last, probably be the 112 Savage single shot.
