[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2086785, member: 807"] I did several 308 to 7mm-08 conversions when I got my first 7mm-08 rifle. I did both commercial and military brass. MoBoost is sure right in that the case capacity and wall thickness is greater on the military stuff. I have the Forster neck turning and reaming tools for doing that sort of thing, so other than some work it isn't bad to do. You should adjust the load downward as well if you use the military brass. I didn't have to do anything to the neck with the commercial brass. Don't anneal until after you neck them down. I tried it both ways and had several failures annealing before I ran them into the sizing die. Pushed the neck down into the shoulder. Doing it before annealing worked much better. I am currently shooting 7mm-08 in a single shot rifle, but plan to build a bolt gun for it in the next few months. Hope this helps some.. Blitzfike [/QUOTE]
