Loaded 50 .308 in 5 groups with bullet seating depths dropping by .020 every 10.
I'm gonna shoot for groups this morning.

I did not load anything but I did prep about 300 .308 cases . My local supplier does not have any bullets on the shelf for me to load up and try out.
They did have some Berger 168gr vld for $50.00 for 100 kind of out of my price range.

I have been working on making 556/223 brass into 300 blackout .
I don't have a jig to cut the brass so I have been running it thru the full length resizer with the pin removed then going back and trimming the neck's off with a RCBS trim pro I have rigged on a drill press. I'm sure this is not the best way to do it but it works. I am leaving all the brass long around 1.40 and should have a Lee case length gauge soon.

I would say roughly less than 5/16 of a inch . The 556/223 brass measures 1.775 roughly after running thru resizing die and I use a #22 pilot on the trimmer to cut the neck's off at 1.417 rough so .358 . I had a good used .300 blackout case with correct length when I set up the trimmer in the drill press and just adjusted the trimmer up to leave me room for error . I will be using a Lee case trimmer to finish trimming the brass to the correct length .

50 rounds of 168 gr Hornady match , 50 rounds of Hornady 150 gr sp interlock and 50 rounds of 110 gr Barnes tac-tx fb. I used Accurate 1680 powder for all loads .
