I need a hornady modified case in .308 win.!!!

[kingfamous]

Anyone know where I can find one in stock?? This is to use with the Hornady overall length gage. Better yet, anybody have one that I can borrow?

They seem to be out of stock most places. It is fairly easy to make your own, thats what I did. I have the drill bit and tap if you are near riverside.

The tap is a 5/16-32. I bought mine from enco. The nice part is once you have it you can make any case.

oal length measuring

I too bought the tap and die to make my own but is an uncommon thread pitch. I got miy drill bit and tap at Western Tool or any large jobber industrial supply. Cost me $13.59 So I have made my own several times for obscure cartridges. Drill bit= 7.25mm HS job drill
tap=5/16-36 HS Plug Tap ..I have made several which thread right on to supplied rod assembly But I stopped using them because I think there is a much simpler and just as accurate method. I take a sized case and make 1 approx.11/2 inch cut from case mouth through shoulder and down into body. I use a dremel with a small cutting wheel...takes just seconds.

What this does is gives neck a little flex so it holds the bullet but will relax and allow the bullet to enter as you slowly chamber a round. Take it out slowly and do it several times so that you are sure you are getting an accurate and repeatable measurement. That is where that particular bullet engraves the lands. You now have a starting point, knowing the oal to touch lands. I advise using an ogive attachment since length of rifle bullets varies quite a bit, but ogive varies much less. Once you get the hang of it a case takes seconds to make, you can make a case for any caliber and I personally think that it is easier to measure that the Hornady tool, which forces you to skew the calipers slightly. If you PM me your phone number I will send a pic...I only have a phone camera or I would post the pic. Good luck 30-338

It would be a big help if you would bother to put you location in your header or at least in your post.

I have one and I think the gun shop in Modesto has one for sale.
