    338 Spectre

    Does anyone here load 338 spectre? I bought a barrel directly from Marty at Teppo Jutsu years ago and built a rifle. Have not fired it yet. I bought 500 pieces of SBR brass directly from them years ago and a set of Hornady 338 spectre dies (at the time Hornady wouldn’t release them to anyone not OKed by Marty). I finally got around to loading a few rounds. However they don’t chamber. They get most of the way in and get stuck with a guesstimate 1/4” length left. I tried sized but empty brass in addition to some dummy rounds and live loaded rounds I made. All with the same success.

    I don’t know if the chamber is too small, the dies are not sizing down enough, or what the issue could be. I don’t have a case gauge and only SBR lists such a thing and it is out of stock.

    If someone loads for this can you make me a dummy round that chambers in your rifle and send it to me? I’ll obviously pay you for it.

    I have a lot of money in this rifle and also the dues and components and would like to to get to the bottom of this and get this one running.
