Since my wonderful wife got me a Cooper M52 in .338-06 I have come up with a few dilemmas on loading for it.

1. Cases are not easy to find so I figure I need to make use of plentiful 30-06 cases.

2. What dies to use. I have pretty much decided on Redding, but which ones. Standard are bushing dies?

3. Can a person go straight from .30 to .338 just by using the .338-06 sizing die on the 30-06 cases or should there be a step in between?

4. Is there something I am not thinking of that would be helpful? I have never had to size cases to a different caliber before.

Thanks for you help/
