... You might try a .323"bullet in fired cases. If it easily slips in, you can use .323 bullets, but only in cases that accepts the bullet. This may or may not increase accuracy. Mike
Hey Mike -
A 0.323" bullet will not slip into a fired case from my rifle, but a .318" bullet will.
My new (unfired) Norma brass, sized down from 8x57JRS, is 2.2315" or 56.7mm in length. Brass from S&B factory ammo, fired once in my rifle, has an overall case length of 2.244" or exactly 57mm. I'll keep an eye on how that grows.
Once I'm back from my next range trip (hopefully tomorrow), I'll try sizing those cases without any extra turn on the dies after bottoming out on the shell holder. Further, I'll back off from that contact and resize and check the brass again in the chambers and with a 0.318" bullet...if I feel I can seat those bullets without resizing and moving the shoulder, and still get the rounds to chamber, I will.
Regards,
Chris
