Speer 60gr Gold Dot HP 32 Auto

Anyone ever try reloading the 300 with these bullets? I've heard they are a little tight .311 in a .308 but they work fine? Anyone have anything able to support that? Thought it might make a nice round for plinking squirrels in the off season while still allowing me to use my deer rifle... 60gr to 240gr... now that is versitility.

IIRC .32 is .310 - I actually reload .32 ACP for my Czech Skorpion.......

I dunno, I personally would spend the $30 on a Lee bullet sizer die - just run them through that and they will be .308 when they come out the other end.

+1 on resizing. There guys that are sizing 458 bullets to 452 to use in the 450 Bushmaster. They were saying that all copper bullets can be a pain, but traditional lead core bullets are supposed to be easy. Now that I have a 450 I might try it once I get set up to reload for it.

Ive done a bit of resizing with jacketed XTP type bullets. There is generally about a two thousands spring back. You will need an arbor press for the copper stuff. Get the Lee sizer smaller than you need and lap up to the right size with abrasive covered bullet.You can push them through with any good reloading press. Be sure to lube well.

Anybody have a way to calculate how much powder this can be loaded without reaching too high of a pressure. What kind of velocity might be expected?
