Cheaper than a custom die set --- End quote --- I just need to get around to doing it. I'm pretty sure I can pull this off in my garage sale drill press. :chuckle: For a straight 338/375 I wouldn't bother with custom dies. I've been using a 375 Ruger FL sizer with the expander removed and 38 RCM dies to seat and neck size since day one. In a lengthened chamber I'd consider ordering the proper headspace gauge, chamber and resize reamer. I'm a tinker at heart and I don't really worry about using odd parts or weird methods to get results, that's part of the fun for me. Sometimes it's hard to explain to a gunsmith though that you want to cut a chamber to zero headspace, then cut it .080" deeper with no gauge to actually check that dimension with. For the RWS brass, I think Huntington's may be the only importer. |

I’m going to order the ptg bottom metal kit which will stretch out my oal some. Measuring my action I get 3.630” (AICS mags I believe are 3.625”) but I’ll have take a few thousandths off my bolt stop to take advantage of the whole opening because the bolt stops just short of the back of the feed gap. The bolt stop has plenty of meat to Accommodate this task and then some. |

Bottom metal and mag are ordered. One peace 20 mos rail on its way. Rifle is coming together. Now if the barrel would hurry up I’d be a kid in a candy store |
