[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3349738, member: 15054"] That will not hurt anything. I would Load them as regular loads and shoot them. Have you measured your chamber? I have sized .308 brass .008" below what my chamber size is and I hate to say it but it shot very accurate much more accurate than setting The case back .001" or .002" or .000" from chamber size. Then look at people that make wild cat chambers like 30-30 AI they fire form the cases and there is a huge difference in size there. Many that build an AI gun report that during fire forming they get their best accuracy. With that said load a handful of it and shoot at paper and see what kind of groups you get.. it may surprise you. Yea the brass tends to not last as long but if you get stupid accurate loads from it then it may be a sacrifice you may wish to make. I could get 8 reloadings from my .308 Winchester cases that i set back .008" and I got 18 reloadings if i set them back .001" from fire formed size. My R-P cases in .308 would go 52 firings setting back .001" and this is using a full length size die. Federal and Lapua cases went in the upper 40 times fired. Case head cracks were the fail of all cases. 41-42 gr of Varget and 165 game king HPBT bullets were used. Just put that out there as some know I load 2.1 gr of Red Dot in .308 with 104gr lead. That load does not change the size of my brass case. I bet I could fire them 5000+ times. [/QUOTE]
