Howdy Boys!
Been away from the forums for a bit and just checked today and saw that this thread got a little traction.
UPDATE...
I took the 125gr., 150gr. & 174gr. .312 projectiles and ran them through both my .309 & .308 sizers (used case lube, ran projectiles through once a piece).
Mic'ed them all and I then threw them in my tumbler for about an hour.
They came out lube free...I let them sit overnight on my bench and re-mic'ed them...all were around .3075-ish.
Loaded them all up and they worked just as is they were intended too.
No signs of overpressure even though I was using my data for my standard supersonics. The 174s were loaded sub- and shot fine through my SBR/can.
I also purchased a box of 123gr. Hornady V-Max .311 (for the 7.62x39) and did this same treatment...worked like a charm.
Now, I am not advocating doing this as a full-time kinda thing.
Just wanted to see how well it would work out if one needed to, in case there is another situation where .308 projos become scarce.
Things have started to calm down here in NV, regarding components and the shelves are looking a little better than when I first wrote this back in April.
Keep The High Ground,
G
