I know this is work, but you might try forming 308 brass from 30-06. That way you will get a thicker neck and it may be thick enough that you may be able to turn to a desired specification.

I took my M/N 44 to the range yesterday. We were shooting M/N 44 with surp ammo. Lots of noise, long flames, and recoil. We are shooting steel silouetts at 300 M.
