Hi
Just bought a Sako TRGS 338 Lapua. I sitting down to order Dies does anyone have sugestions.
Should I neck size or full length size. What about a crimp.
Also I plan to shoot Barnes TSX 180gr or 210gr or 225gr
ThanksDr B

I have a set of Bonanza/Forster FL micrometer match dies. Awesome! I got them from John at Gunstop Shooting Supply http://www.gunstop.com/.
I don't know if Lee makes factory crimp dies for that round. If not your best bet will be to seat and crimp in separate steps. You can buy a non micrometer seater and use it just for the crimp step.

My RCBS dies seem to work just fine. The Micrometer seaters are nice though. I've never crimped a round of 338 Lapua. The 250 Scenars available from Sinclair have shot superbly for me............DJ

I too use RCBS dies. Neck size is only necessary for at least 3 firings. 2-3 thousandths neck tension,NO crimp,COL 3.650 or too fit your magazine. With the bullets you mentioned the overall length will be shorter.I only have longrange target experience with the cartridge and do not hunt.Although the downrange energy numbers are incredible.Stick with LAPUA brass-far superior to Norma and only FL size when absolutely necessary.
