[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 3083191, member: 93138"] My first chamber to reload ever was the .308 Norma. I had case head separations in 2 to 3 firings that I couldn't fix and nothing more vet reloaders suggested worked. When I got a case head separation on one of the factory rounds I knew that it wasn't me. Turned out that the rifle was the problem, 03A3's just aren't made for that. The action was stretching. I had a -06 barrel put on it for show and pretty much retired it. Recently I ran across a used M70 FWT .308 NM in a shop in Minden, NV and that got me going again. It wasn't what I wanted in a .308 NM, but I've always had a soft spot for the chamber so now I'm slowing building another .308 NM rifle. Which is to say that I've been following all of this closely. I, too, ordered one of the Willis dies. I may not need it, but if I do it's going to take a while to get. I'd rather that happen while I'm building than when I want to shoot it and can't. These ring dies and the comment above about using a 300 Win die have the gears spinning..... [/QUOTE]
