So when casting for .308, what sorts of dies do you lot use?
I've got a set of Lee collet neck sizing dies for the .577-450 and I get decent results from them.
I imagine they'd work pretty well too in .308 provided I single load each round. Not having a crimp on the case could lead to the boolit jumping forward a bit from recoil when stacked in a magazine. I imagine lacking a crimp would also lead to setback when cycling through a semi auto, what with the spring pressure and feed ramps.
I like the idea of neck only sizing and keeping lots of brass for specific rifles. But neck only dies come off the shelf with an undersized mandrel, and since boolits will be sized slightly larger than bore, that would lead to shaving when seating the boolit, no?
Best to get a custom set of neck dies for the specific diameter?
And what then of crimp? What dies do you use for those?
Am I over thinking things?
Thanks for suggestions
