Sizing

[1maxhunter]

still new to the casting. but now new to the sizing also.a .308 180 gr gc being loaded in a .3006 eddystone is any rule of thumb with what size to size to?? my sizer seams to be going about .310 right now. slug and size?? or ??

.310 should put you in a very good neighborhood.

If you can slug the bore but .310" would probably be a safe bet.

I always slug the bore just because curious minds need to know. That's a good thing with my 30-30, it has a great bore, clean sharp rifling from one end to the other with no loose or tight spots. It also has a .310" groove diameter from one end to the other. It shoots great as long as I pay attention to as cast diameters. Just goes to show ya that there are variations, everything is not always as it should be.

I would suggest you slug your barrel. With my 1917 30-06 Remington after I did this the bore and groove measured .302x.312. What I use for this rifle is Accurate Mold's 314299 that drops a 199 gr .303x.314 bullet.
