Reducing a .308 case mouth from 7.82 to 7mm

#1 Post by Alpha1 »

I need to reduce some .308 case mouths internal diameters from 7.82mm to 7mm for a project.
Can any one advise on a way to do this I am thinking bushings but any advice is appreciated.

You could buy a secondhand 7-08 body die. If you make a bushing you will still need a bushing-type body die to hold the bushing.
