Unless it has lopsided neck walls (which hinder the assembly of straight cartridges) there's noting wrong with that LC brass. Simply develop your loads to suit its slightly smaller capacity and rock on. I've shot a bunch of LC match brass through my 308's and it has advantages for my factory chambers and the sizing dies I use. For example, a typical fired neck out of my rifles measures .344" across. A loaded round is about .338" and my Lee collet die sizes the neck to .336". So from sized to fired to sized is a .016" trip. In contrast sized WW brass comes in at .330". So from sized to fired to sized it's a .028" trip for WW. So if i don't need the greater powder capacity of the WW then I prefer the thicker variety.
