I have a savage model 11 in 308, and is slugged at .308 measured with a micrometer. Should I size my boolits in the .308 or .001 over?

.310 generally works in all my 30 cal rifles newer than 1950

The mold that I have spits out a .309 would I even have to size it then

I would say no. Use a .309 die just to crimp the gas check on. This should not size your boolit.

I still recommend a .310" die. It's OK for the gascheck to be a little larger than the boolit when you have a .310" throat... which is SAAMI spec for a .308W.
