I have one set of .308 dies. I have multiple .308s and have been running off of the same FL die setting.
Using an RCBS Precision Mic the average of 35 once fired Lapua cases in my bolt gun was 0.066.
Using an RCBS Precision Mic the average of 35 once fired Winchester cases in my LRB M14ish gun was 0.095.
Using an RCBS Precision Mic the average of 35 new Winchester cases was 0.016.
The LRB shot pretty well in load development with the new cases. Do you think I would be better off getting a second set of dies and setting them at 0.075 for the LRB? Or do you think that the die setting for the bolt gun, at 0.046 is going to be close enough that it really isn't going to translate into any real gain in accuracy?
Both are set to a factory OAL (2.8 IIRC), both are using 175 SMKs.
Thanks
Good luck
