[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 1738165, member: 530"] I would most definitely NOT do that. A .30-06 is actually a little smaller at the web than the .308, so you would be working the brass even harder. A little more information, please. You say it is 'skinning brass.' Where? You then talk about overall length. Is it a matter of length, or case diameter? With the info you give, I would first try only partial-length resizing. You don't necessarily need a neck-sizing die, just don't run the case all the way up into your full-length sizing die. Make sure your cases are under max length, then size only enough so they chamber 'easily.' Are you only loading for one rifle, and what is the use of that rifle? ... hunting, bench rest, or what? If it's for hunting, you want your cases to chamber more easily than what might be acceptable if shooting only from the bench or 'plinking.' A little more detail, and we can be more specific about what you might want to try! [/QUOTE]
