Is it possible to use a 308 bushing die to resize 7mm-08?

I think it may be possible. However, you are going down 24 thousandths which is fairly substantial. Buy a 7mm-08 body die and use that to bring the neck down to about the size of fired 7mm-08 case. Remove the expander ball on your .308 die and put a 7mm bushing in it to bring it down to the size you want. BUT remember, you are going to have to turn the necks. I can guarantee you the necks will get AT LEAST 2 thousandths thicker than your virgin brass. Necking down is not anywhere near as easy as necking up!

I thought he was asking if he can size 7mm08 brass in a 308 bushing die. I don't think he meant sizing 308w brass down into 7-08 in a bushing die. At least that's what I though he meant.

I think he wants to make 7mm-08 out of .308 brass>>>>my guess is that he wants to use the S/R primer Lapua Palma brass. If I am correct, he would be better off using Peterson S/R primer .260 brass and NECK UP! But I am only trying to guess with the tiny info we got..

Funny how we can read the same thing and get 2 different ideas LOL

The OP lacks way too much info to make an accurate assessment of what he is attempting to accomplish..

Hes just wanting to toss his 7mm bushing into a 308 die on hand and reload his 7-08 brass from what i see. No problem

Thats what I was asking is if I can reload my 7-08 brass in a 308 die with a 7mm bushing. Im not looking to resize 308 brass to 7-08.

Thanks

 

[Zero333]

No problem, piece of cake.
