sizing question

Boolit Mold Join DateJan 2013LocationiowaPosts4

I have a savage model 11 in 308, and is slugged at .308 measured with a micrometer. Should I size my boolits in the .308 or .001 over?

.310 generally works in all my 30 cal rifles newer than 1950

it's all an educated guess,,,, till the trigger is pulled.

the more i find out about shootin boolits, the more it contradicts everything i ever learned about shooting jaxketed.

The mold that I have spits out a .309 would I even have to size it then

I would say no. Use a .309 die just to crimp the gas check on. This should not size your boolit.

A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that. - Shane

I still recommend a .310" die. It's OK for the gascheck to be a little larger than the boolit when you have a .310" throat... which is SAAMI spec for a .308W.

It's not about gun control, it's about people control. The progressives are using terrorists and the insane to further their agenda. If the socialist news media wasn't complicit, we could sit back and watch Fast & Furious and Benghazi-gate unfold.
