Why try to squeeze a 338BR through an AR-15 magazine? It seems to me that cartridge would be very comfortable in a AR-10 or LR-308 which already has a 308 bolt face and a 2.8" magazine made for 308 WIn diameter cartridges. It can also handle the 338W case loaded with 300 grain or even heavier bullets. is there any advantage of a 338W over a 300 Whisper if you shoot 240 grain or lighter bullets?

Is anyone selling an "off the shelf" 338BR (aka 338/7mmBR) reamer?

For a full length sizing die why not just drill/ream the neck of a 7mm BR die then use a 338 Federal expander ball?
