Re-Sizing .311 Projectiles for .300 Whisper...
Howdy Gents,
So, I am sitting at my loading bench today sizing a batch of lead boolits to .309 and putting gas checks on and I notice some .311 Speer jacketed projectiles I have. They are there as a reminder to load up some rounds for my SMLE.
I started wondering...can I run these through my sizing die and make them .309 projos that would work for my Whisper???
Anyway, I finished up the lead and thought I would post on here and see if any of you have done anything like this.
I have had a heck of a time finding regular .308-type jacketed projectiles since the "Great Panic of 2013", as I am sure some (or all) of you have had.
I dug out my SMLE because, well...it's a great gun to shoot!
Seriously, the one thing that I have noticed is that there are still p-l-e-n-t-y of .311 bullets to be had.
Just another 'what if?' kind of scenario.
I may just go ahead and re-size a handful and then check them to specs.
I have both a (true) Whisper rifle as well as a 300 BLK SBR.
Food for thought...
Keep The High Ground,
G
