Case resizing for .308

Agreed. My major point was that it can be done without having to purchase any equipment other than what the average reloader should have.

I think the average reloader doesn't necessarily worry with neck sizing vs FL sizing vs bump sizing. I believe we're into next level stuff here (which is probably where most average reloaders ends up eventually)

Having said that, a $30 investment in the Hornady headspace comparator isn't much in the grand scheme of this ridiculously anal hobby of ours. Having that tool allows you to easily see how much you're bumping the shoulder

I opened up a mew thread on this same subject, wasn't sure if it should be on here or a new one as it is about headspace and shoulder bump. This is the post though-

So I got the proper device to measure relative headspace (hornady comparator is why I say relative). I had some brass around that had been shot with just neck sizing way to long, some I can barely close the bolt. The measurement I got for that was 3.636, Then I measured some Fed. M80 7.62×51 and got 3.630. Heres where my confusion sets in. I went and shot some reloads I had already loaded by just setting my FL sizer up as instructed by lee. Those are measuring 3.631. Should I go with the old overused brass measurement, or the stuff I fired today? 3.636 or 3.631? I'm probably just gonna go buy new brass and start from scratch till I find the numbers I need unless someone has a better idea of what measurement I should use. Thanks

I ended up going and getting some nosler brass and the measurement for it is 3.629

We'll just move to the new thread, to avoid confusion.
