[QUOTE="Jinx-), post: 376097, member: 19791"] I just remeasured brass the thing is FL sized brass is bellow SAAMI specs which are SAAMI 0.455" - 0.470" and FL sized virgin brass 0.450" .0467" fired brass from my rifle 0.457" .0467" fired brass from his rifle 0.456 .0467 so chamber with 0.456" - .0467" should had accept FL sized brass 0.450" .0467", but it didn't, this is all Remington brass for .308 the post above is a bit incorrect about measurements, they are not taken at the shoulders but at the body of brass close to the shoulders, the shoulder measurements by SAAMI for .243 is 0.400 same as in .308, parent case ;-) my conclusion is that only shoulders of the brass could interfere, since body of FL sized brass is bellow specs of the chamber, but I have no way to measure shoulders correctly because of the lack of the equipment, I know Sinclair makes nice tools and probably others [/QUOTE]
