Is there anyone here familiar with this cartridge? I have been asked to help loading a wildcat (338x39 or 7.62x39 necked up to .338). I am wondering what the common name is for this cartridge, and where I can find dies and reloading data.

USE THE GRENDAL CASE ITS BETTER THAN THE X39 SURPLUS ITS THE SAME CASE JUST BLOWN OUT. 338 GRENDAL IS 6.5 GRENDAL NECKED UP UN ALTERED. ALEXANDER ARMS HAS THE BRASS MY DIES CAME FROM RCBS AND CH4D HAS THE PRINT ALSO I THINK VERITAS ODIUM PARIT | |||

Roger I'm not sure I understand your reply... Anyway, I believe I was given bad info. I am now being told that the die set he has is marked "338 Scorpion". So I guess now my question is, WTH is a 338 Scorpion? He is going to send me some loaded rounds and the dies and other components. I will post pick and any other questions when I get more info. I just need to make sure I get things right as the rifle is in a little country on the other side of the world. Thanks for the replies.

 Not that it can't be done; but how will you get the ammo absolutly right without the rifle? This is not exactly an easy task especially with a wild cat.  rogerOld age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age!

Unless you already have a smaller bolt face for the AK round--(.443) Why not use a 338 BR (AKA 338 Whisper) on a std .473 bolt face? Dies and reamers readily available as are cases--- (whether small primer BR's necked up or std. large primer 308 shortened and necked up) DuggaBoye-O NRA-Life Whittington-Life TSRA-Life DRSS DSC HSC SCI | |||
