I have a Weatherby 338-06 on layaway, which I will pick up in Feb. I have not found any dies locally, however I do know where there is a set of 338 OKH dies for sale. Are these close enough dimension wise to interchange (obviously with a .338 expander ball)?

Thanks,
Rob

Oops! Those are .333 OKH dies, not .338 OKH. Can I just switch to a .338 expander ball and use them to load .338-06?

No you cannot....and if it worked which is possible it would sure over work your brass and case life would suffer greatly.

I got my dies from Redding and Lee makes very good dies for 338-06

In the age of the Internet not being able to find something locally should not present a problem. MidwayUSA, as just one example, has Lee, RCBS and Redding .338-06 dies.

I got Lee 338.06 dies.Lee uses the Hornady style expander now,and it works slick.I polished the taper a touch,too.I choose Lee over others.
