go to Berger bullets and buy 308 they will expand to .314 eaisly

Actually need expand to .323
Probably will just have to make flaring die & punch then.

get a draw die and draw them down.

I am currently drawing .700" 45 cal jackets to .354 then draw them again to .321 this gives me anywhere from a 175 - 200 gr bullet depending on if it is a hollow point or soft point.

A 44 mag jacket will make anything in the 150 - 170 gr range.

I have also drawn and trimmed 30 Carbine brass as 8 mm jackets, works well.

I think I have heard of people using a tapered core seating punch to flare the .308 jacket as the core is seated, just need to make sure you lube it a little and seat the core hard enough so the punch will let go of the jacket.
