I have made some 600 338 federal out of 308 casing..... lost 100 of them because they where 2.005 and below the rest where trimed at 2.007.... in this operation Imperial wax was used and crisco....both works well but I have notice less resistance whith crisco..... this was done whith a redding die and a Dillon press.....
