Any thoughts or experience with resizing brass to a larger caliber within the cartridge family?

I have read where resizing 300 PRC to 375 Ruger is doable. It seems a two step process is suggested, first upsizing to 338 and then to 375.

With 375 Ruger brass being scarce, thought this might be an option for folks needing brass.

The outfitter I recently hunted with in Montana has a large amount of once fired 300 PRC brass (approximately 50 boxes) and will sell any or all for 50 cents per case, plus shipping.

I would think it could be done. I did 308 Winchester to 358 with one pass through a 358 reloading die. I occasionally did get a split neck after firing.
 
You might consider just buying some factory ammo and reloading it after you shoot.
 
I just rum 300WSM through the 35 Sambar reloading dies. A two step to 375 should work ok. Yes the case will be a little shorter but that just save trimming to length for a lot of shooting.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark

Hello, I have giraffe leg bones similarly carved as well as elephant tusks which came out of the Congo in the mid-sixties
