Length sizing 308

[peterk123]

After three firings I still have no need to size for length. When do you guys start noticing stretch? My brass also resizes fairly effortlessly. I could probably get away without using any lube.

3-5 reloads for me and i have to start trimming, but almost never happens because there is always .308 brass scattered everywhere at the range, so I just put anything out of spec in scrap brass bucket.

Always use the lube....when you get a case stuck...you'll wish you did.

I use the hornady one shot because its easy but its not cheap. Ive though of just using a lanolin spray I use for the truck frame but its too thick.....I ve sprayed it Fluid film on a rag and used it that way before and it works

I use one shot for 9mm. Have not been willing to trust it on rifle cartridges. Good to hear it's working. I've been using Lee's lube. Slow but it works.

If you have a tight chamber and don't reload hot then the stretch will be minimal.

As for lube, I use lanolin - a stuck case is too much of a pain to deal with.
