Thread: Help needed for 308 subsonic load

No need to use Magnum primers with Trailboss.
Grab yourself a LEE factory crimp die if you don't already have one, makes crimping easier.

Boar Freak, do you crimp the 151hps from shooternz? I got my first batch the other day. They work in my standard seating die, BUT I can push the projectile back by hand ones seated....

Yep, did it in 30-30 and in the 308 too. I think it gives a pretty consistent neck tension. Projectiles won't move after I crimp them. Have a look on TM or on here, Factory Crimp dies are easy to find @kiwiswede

Wind your sizing die down another quarter turn or anneal the cases then resize,neck tension should be tight enough then.
