Loading 7-08 in a 7-08AI - 10/24/20 05:02 PM
So, I have a lot of 7-08 once fired brass and I want to load them up to fire form them into my 7-08AI barrel, so I can then load them to 7-08AI.
Here’s where my rookie reloading brain is trying to sort things out...
Do I resize to a headspace of an over the shelf ammo (or Chad’s ammo) that shot really well?
I could use the Hornady OAL gauge and find where the ogive of the bullet touches the lands (I think I’m using the right terminology here?) and that way I can find a good seating depth.
Or is there some other step or measurment I should be accounting for here?
Thanks!
