brass felt odd going through sizer

[Ru4real]

Sizing 308 last night. One would think you would notice the difference grabbing a 30-06 case.

What is it with you Minnesota cats?

This one was sent to me from a guy in NE Minnesota. 308 accidentally fired in a 30-06. Hit the boulder in the gravel pit, apparently. . So I guess accuracy is ok?

Looks like a legit 30-06 case now. Maybe the shoulder is a little short? I’m new to this cowboy-ignore-the-rules reloading trend. Regular 308 on left. Minnesota 30-06 on right.

The solution is clearly custom dies to fit that new brass. It's a new wildcat and the OP gets to name it if he is quick.

Thirty ought not.

Looks kinda like a .401WSL Winchester (center)

I made 7x57 cases exactly like that. They were great cases.

Just tell people you’re working on a wildcat

Correct , just say you were necking UP !!!!!

I think you just invented a new caliber. Cool! You can name it after yourself.

The 308 Long Neck

 

[Carl N. Brown]

The .30-06 case behind the shoulder is a bit thicker internally than the .308 case neck. .30-06 necked down to .308 would have to be trimmed for neck length and inside reamed for neck thickness.

Converting .30 -06 brass to .308 brass could be the basis of a new cardiovascular workout video. With the video, sell a custom line of sweat bands and arm warmers.

What kind of lube were you using?

UNIQUE case lube. I think Hornady makes it. great stuff. little goes a long way.

Ya can’t do this by mistake, it takes plenty of uummph to resize from 3006 to 308.

good story though

Oops

There was a guy brought in his .270, bolt wouldn't open.
His B-i-L had an identical rifles in .308.
They were at the rifle range. B-i-L picked up .270, loaded .308 and pulled trigger.

Action held, but pressures were a bit high.

The 308 Long Neck

There was a wildcat called 308 long neck. Is exactly what he did.

 

[Riomouse911]

That case looks like medical attention may be needed for it if that condition lasts more than four hours…

The new .30 Cialis Extra Long

Stay safe.

That's a lot of bullet squish.
