Nov 12, 2009 · Re: .308 case capacity lapua, hornaday Quickload doesn't differentiate between 308 brass. The default is 56.0gr water to overflow. best thing to do is simply measure the water capacity to overflow of each type and see what they are.

Oct 28, 2011 · Re: .308 case volume I can't see personally how measuring by using powder would be all that consistent unless you have a way of vibrating the case until the powder's fully settled. Stick powders, and Varget is a classic example, tend to vary widely in how they settle when poured in. A long drop tube would help, so would a vibrator.

Jul 19, 2008 · Re: .308 Case with a .223 bullet Sounds like the Accelerator round. Already been talked to death a few times on this site. Marginally effective attempt to get blazing speed out of a .22 caliber jacketed bullet. Made in .308, .30-'06 and .30-30 chamberings. Accuracy is generally marginal, unacceptable for match, and maybe also for varmint ...

Jun 20, 2009 · Re: .308 case bulging ..... ? You have a slightly large chamber. The resized or new brass is pushed against one side of the chamber by the ejector. When it goes bang it is off center. The bulge is away from the side that contacts the chamber wall.

Apr 30, 2007 · Re: 308 W case capacity 55.7-55.8 for Lapua (in my guns), 57.1 for Winchester That might be something worth putting together and pinning, or adding to the .308 load thread - a list of case capacities of all the commonly available brass - Remington, Federal, Norma, Black Hills, Nosler, etc.

Nov 12, 2008 · I'm in the process of uniforming some of the factory brass I have laying around and wanted to "uniform" 'em up. I have noticed that through all my sorting I have found that the most excessive difference (aside from case weight alone) is the difference in neck wall thickness. I have case difference varing from .012"-.021" neck wall dimentions.

Dec 29, 2010 · Re: 308 Sub Sonic case filler When I load subs, my gun likes around 10.3ish grains. Wind up around 1040 or so fps. I have decent case fill. A couple things you can do: Run as heavy a bullet your barrel will take. Seat your round fairly deep; dont chase the lands. Doing things like this and tweaking the load have gotten me consistent 1 minute loads.

Apr 16, 2014 · I'm new to loading .308 but have been reloading other calibers for almost 10 years. I'm full length re-sizing and they gauge just fine. I'm chauffeuring and deburing the mouths. No crimp. I checked a batch of 50 before seating bullets and they all gauged just perfectly. I …
