what ever mould you get, cast up a few and make up a dummy round and check if it will fit in the chamber.

How can you shoot 308 in a action designed for 3006
Good News you have a barrel Marked 308 so instead of using a 30-06 reamer they used a 308 reamer
Just be careful if you more than 1 garand on...

Forum: Factory & Surplus Powder
your new load is close to the 5%+- mark , that I have been told is what you can expect from changing from one lot to another
you new lot is 5% faster so you need to use less
I think from a pistol barrel 300 -400 fps +-
you did not tell us any of your load data / bullet weight/ shape /seating depth or oal
the above will all effect what goes down the barrel
Not sure on how it will work in rifle cases as the fill ratio will be low
I have used it in cast 357 mag and a few others
look for IMR data around 2007 and there could be some online data

I used GRT with my data, changed barrel length and powder
GRT predicts bullet velocity in the 1000 fps range
Your muzzle pressure is less than 400 psi = why you are sticking a bullet
