You need a stout enough press to reduce the diameter of the head of .308 cases slightly; I use a Redding Big Boss, and Redding Imperial Sizing Die Wax. Since the necks are being expanded, they don't require reaming or turning.

Decided to try it after owning (and hunting with) several .35 Remingtons. It's pretty easy, especially handy during the "shortages" that keep reoccurring every few years now. The .35 Remington is one of the rounds the major manufacturers make "seasonally," meaning whenever they get around to it.

So I looked at the case dimensions and decided to try it. It was so simple I only mentioned that it could be easily done in my chapter on the .35 Remington in the first Big Book of Gun Gack.

Thanks. Would a Rockchucker work?
