AR-308 – Precision Loading Pt. 1 – Case sizing and trimming

Sunday, October 16th, 2011

It’s time to start loading some precision 308 Winchester ammo for the LR-308 project! Our rifle is all tuned up and tricked out, and now we need some capable ammunition to shoot.

In this video, I’ll walk through the process of validating sizing die setup with the new Redding Instant Indicator, and we’ll see how to size cases. Following that, I’ll show using the Hornady Case Prep Center to trim the brass to length, chamfer the case mouth, and also ream the primer pocket (an important final touch when working with military brass like the 7.62×51 once-fired brass that I’m using for this project).

Next, we’ll use the Redding case neck gage to sort cases by neck thickness and neck uniformity.

Thanks,
Gavin
