.308 small base circle dies

[Falstaff]

I bought .308 SBC dies for my AR-10, Yesterday I bought a .308 bolt gun. Can I use the Small base circle dies to load for the bolt gun? (Its a Rem 700 with a 1-10" twist 20" barrel if that matters)

[CSACANNONEER]

Yes you can.

Yea I full length size my 308 as well.

As the others have stated, yes you can use the SBC dies. They were made for semi auto's but the census is that no one has had any trouble with brass run their standard full length sizer dies in their ar-15's.

As probably heard before, neck sizing on bolt action chambers would be the choice for me as I hate to unneccessarily work any brass. That will extend the life of brass for your bolt gun. I would also reserve a lot of brass just for this particular chamber/rifle.

Hope this helps.

Either way, you will be fine.

Yup

[Fjold]

Like others have said, you can. But, it is going to result in brass that doesn't fit your chamber and affect your accuracy.

I have a Sako TRG-22 that shoots .2 MOA with Hornady 110gr TAP factory ammo.

Fireformed brass may give you better accuracy. It may not. Small base dies size the brass another .001" or so over regular dies. I have both.

I load extremely accurate loads for my 30-06 rifles and everything is FL sized with small base dies. I would not worry about it. I also would not just neck size as I want all ammo to fit all my rifles of a given cartridge.
I have the small base dies as my 1st 30-06 rifle was a Rem 740 and they has weak extractors.
My brass lasts plenty long anyway.
