308 winchester OAL

[warrenb]

From my data the OAL length of the 308 win case is 2.015".
I have resized fired brass which ranges in length from 2.012" to 2.022".

I am fully resizing. Is there a range from min to max that the overall length of the case can be to safely be reloaded.

I do intend to trim those cases that 2.022".

thanks.

2.015 is the maximum SAAMI specs.
Trim back 10 thou to 2.005.

Chambers vary and Sincliar has an easy to use gauge for this. If in doubt, go the "trim-to" length mentioned.

Regards,

Peter

I always trim my brass after the first firing and resizing back to .010 below max overall length.
