All of these dies say 308 on the top but all have been cut down or altered to make a wildcat ? if you have any idea as to that they are for I would like to know. I did not take any measurements of the finished cases.

30-30 case in shortest die and rough trimmed case beside it.

.30 Herrett? If they use the .30-30 for a parent case, that would be my guess. The .308 marking on top of the die doesn't really make sense for that, though.

If they use the .308 Win, then I would guess the .308x1.5" or something very similar.

Make a simple chamber cast then add .125 for the depth of the shell holder then do some research.
I think Mk42gunner is right. Looks like the 308x1.5. It was talked about quite a bit in the mid to late 60's.

Was gonna say 30BR but i think thats the same or very similar to the 308 x 1.5

Thanks every one. think I will run a 308 through the dies and see what get. There might be 2 different case formers in the box.
