Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Resizing 307 Win. to 308 Mar. Exp.

I bought a 308 Mar.XLR and the cost of $28.+ for a box of cartridge will shorten my day at the range. Hornady dosen't offer cases for this caliber yet. So I had a bag of 80 unfired 307 Win. cases, Rem. 30 30 RN bullet Reloader 15 powder, Win. LR primers in my reloading banch. I resized the cases with a Hornady 308 Mar. Exp. Full sizing die and trimmed to 1.9200" case length using the above I now have $112. worth of target practice.

Powder charge. 39.0
bullet seated to the cannelure

You would think these companies like Hornady and Federal would understand the value of providing components in order to hasten widespread use of their new vundercartouches.

But they don't.

Federal utterly refuses to sell .338 Fed unprimed brass to the "handloading trade", though the underlings there do recognize they're screwing the pooch by not catering to the people most likely to adopt and promote their cartridge -- handloaders.

Wonder how long it will be before you can buy .338 RCM brass?

At least with the .338 Fed it's a simple pass of .308 brass through a .338 Fed die.

Nice adaptive solution to your dilemna. No you can't have any of my .356 Win brass .
