Hi everyone,
I need your help.
First time I cast and reload a 308 Winchester. (I did a lot of pistol casting and reload, 45acp, 357 and 44 mag)
I used a Lee mold C309-160 grains (90367) and the Lee sizing die .309 (90038)
My first concern is the bullet (with the gas check) doesn't fit the neck of the case.
If I force, it goes inside but it badly shaves the bullet
The bullet is around .3085 but the case neck (after using the Lee Full Length Sizer) is just .301 !
I use the right tool, Lee Ultimate Dies 308 Win 90695
My second concern is the length of the bullet, with the gas check it's .93 (case is the regular 308w size, 2.015)
If I try to seat the bullet correctly, the full size of the ammo is 2.65, if if push less the bullet, just half of the neck, the maximum I can reach is 2.75 but the bullet is not seated correctly.
What I do wrong ?
Thanks
