.358 Win

I use 308 brass in mine with no problems. Hornady makes 35cal neck sizing die with a long eliptical shaped resizing button. I use this for necking up 308 brass with lots of lube inside and out. I anneal as well.

Made some 358 brass from 30-06 once.
It was just a project to see if it was worth the effort and it was a lot of fun as well.
Don't remember if I kept the tooling that I used on my lathe when I moved in July.
Will be glad to get into our new house in December.
The 358 and all reloading stuff went this summer.
I miss it.

I have a good supply of 358 stamped brass but prefer to use 308 for working up loads. Beat up the cheap stuff.
Those Horandy dies I mentioned are nice for erveryday loading as well as necking up brass. I've used mine a lot

Why anneal after necking up? Annealing prior to necking up makes better brass. Problems sizing necks up or down after annealing proves it's done incorrectly.
Got some once fired .308 brass. Ran them through my Lee .358. Win dies, lubricated inside and out...Loaded up some .358 ammunition. BUT....No matter what I do, they will not chamber in my rifle. I tried chambering some unloaded brass....the bolt will not close on them...what is the problem? Is the Lee sizing die not sizing properly. Am I not running them deep enough into the die? I thought the only difference between .358 Win and .308 was the diamenter of the bullet? Any suggestions?
I always liked properly headstamped cases and had several bags of brass cases acquired when they were plentiful.
I let my win 88 lever 358 win go in 2012 shortly after the lg registry fell.
The barrel and metal were immaculate with not a scratch in the wood and the deal offered by someone who just had to have the gun was one I couldn't refuse.
I sold 6 bags of new 358 win brass with the gun.
Don't see why brass of the 358s parent cartridge the 308 win ran through a 358 win sizing die wouldn't work.
