[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1573560, member: 105102"] I think everyone knows it's not worth the time, but some of us just need to tinker! Nothing wrong with that! I have never done Creedmoor from .308, but I do like to keep notes on what cases can be made from others.......I have played with making .260 brass from LC 308 brass, just so I knew how should the need every come up. I think it's easier to figure out when you don't NEED to, and have time to waste, than when Everybody is in the same boat if brass is not available........ The below is info that I have "Stole from the Web" just so I'd have notes as an option! Once again, I have not done this, but if I did, it's where I'd start! Hope this helps, and good luck! PS....I think .250 Savage, or 22-250 would be easier...?? Convert .308 brass to Creedmore: Deprime/Clean Trim to 1.920" Redding 6.5 CM type S die without the bushing using ample sizing wax. Trim to 1.910 Turn necks to Spec thickness Size on SMALL BASE 6.5 CM die. Final trim Edit to add: I think I would for sure anneal when sizing this much.... [/QUOTE]
