Need some help for Reloading

That really is the safest bet. Ignore what I said earlier about shooting them. I would do it, but you shouldn't.

It'll be cheaper to just buy new, unfired brass, than buying factory ammo and shooting them. But both will work, and shooting ammo is always fun.

I think your right, I don't want injure myself. Any way I have some PMC ammo at home, I think I'll just them and save the cases.
 
I get the perception you don't really know enough about reloading to even ATTEMPT loading your first round- buying 20 rounds off "some guy:" is akin to buying your drugs out of the back of a stationwagon- GET THE ABCS OF RELOADING OR some other reloading manual, READ IT, then get some factory ammo, fire it in YOUR GUN, then get out your lee loader and follow the directions that came with the loader- there's a deprimer rod in the kit- discard the old primer seat a new one, charge your powder, and seat your bullet

I think he's doing just fine. He was just unfortunate to get pre-fired brass that happened to be too tight for his chamber.

I bought 4 bags of pre-fired .243 and .270 at a gun show once. Every one of them fit my guns. I got lucky. Silent grenade didn't.

and you have 50 years reloading experience to back this up?- I do- there are no old bold hunters- my first was a 303 no 4 from eatons and I got the lee loader to go with- follow the directions that come with the tower and you can make some mediocre ammo that works- even back then lee emphasized it SHOULD be from your gun
 
Hi Silent,

PM me your shipping address and I will send you a free sample of 20 trimmed full length sized 308 cases. This is likely the easiest solution.

Replace the scoop with a $50 scale and you can easily make ammo that shoots better than factory. It didn't take me 50 years to figure that out.
