Yep. That's what I've been doing over the last year or so. Works great.
Splatman,
Sometimes you get brass with tight pockets. I have some IMI brass in .308 that was so tight I just gave up trying to seat primers in it without first running them through a swager normally used to remove military crimps. If you don't run a large volume of these .338 cases, the smoothest seating I've ever experienced comes from using the Wilson case trimmer's primer pocket profile cutter. You do need to own one of their trimmers to use it, but the basic trimmer, .338 shell holder, and the profile cutter combined are still less than some of the swaging tools (try Bruno Shooter's Supply on pricing). It's also one of the best trimmers made for precision and smooth cut.
As to neck lube, try
the graphite powder. You don't have to remove it afterward.
