I just got off of the phone with Lee Precision - ordering a custom lube and size kit - they don't make a stock one for .338" boolits... but they make it really easy to get a custom one made and for a reasonable price $35 shipped. So, I have a .340" sizer kit coming.
I've ordered a custom sizer kit from them before - .265" IIRC - for 6.5 mm boolits. They came through with flying colors on that.
Great to work with a customer-service oriented company - US company to boot.
And it seems that .338" is not a popular size to cast boolits for. Probably because in the past that caliber size has primarily been a "magnum" cartridge size.
But now, with .338 Federal and .338 Marlin and increasing popularity of the .338-06, that may change...
There are very few molds available for it for sure.
