I'm having a heck of a time loading .308!
Haven't had any problems loading .45 and 6.8 but this caliber is blowing my mind.
Here's my problem. I've got all the SAAMI spec data for the .308 Win but this Remington 700P just doesn't seem to be in spec.
If I put factory, never been fired ammo in the rifle and fire it, wouldn't that fire form the brass to the size of the chamber? I used four different manufacturers and came up pretty consistently at 1.619 fire formed. Should I just take .003 off that size and load em up at 1.613? (I tried that but can't seem to get my Lee dies to cooperate.)
Comments please...
