Anyone have experience with reloading 308 win with small rifle primers????
No but I want some!
I believe the name is Palma.
From what I have read everything is the same as large rifle primer only difference is little less recoil.

Yep, 308 Palma is the official name of that brass.
There is also a 30-30 version with SR pockets. It's called 30 American brass.
Starline made a run of it years ago. If we keep bugging them they may do it again.

Lapua makes small primer brass and Midway USA has it in stock.
Only thing I have heard was it was made for the high pressures that some bench rest shooters inflict on their cases.
I have bought 300 large rifle .308 Lapua cases and those pockets will stretch if you try and push it.
I could not get in an upper accuracy node with them as the volume was too little in the case so I use Winchester cases for that.
Lapua cases were then used with 41.5-43gr of Varget or 4064 and 165/168 gr bullets.
Around start loads.
That 46 or 47 gr did not work in my Lapua cases.
Some loaders used a long drop tube to get those sticks to stack better and found pockets stretched quickly.
Small primer pockets helped that.
I have heard in cold weather the small primer pocket 308 brass will have some delay.
Some reading if you want to know some more stuff.
I never felt the need for them.

I didn’t know this. Impressive!
I have not noticed the primer pocket stretch with lapua cases. I run 45gr 4064/ 168gr. They only 4 firings. I need to go check them….
I believe I have a whole mess of 45acp small pistol primer.
You are not pushing them too hard. get some more reloads from them and you may see it.
I was fine at 40+ reloads with them in the lower node.

I've been using Lapua 308 Palma brass for the last year. Comparing LRP and SRP loads ( I loaded 50 rounds each for a test) I found the SRP loads were around 20 FPS slower than the LRP loads. I did a some research on the cold weather problem and found that the problems appear to be with light powder loads. Using 43.4 gr of Varget and 175 gr SMK bullets I haven't had any problems in cold weather (down to 20F).
I’ll check the link out
