One of my co-vid projects has been having a 7mm-08 cobbled together from parts i had accumulated over the last few years. For my last 7mm-08 I was able to access RP brass reasonably cheaply and also run a bit of WW .308 through the FL die to make cases and used them interchangeably.
While the 7mm-08 has never been popular here with the rise of the 6.5 Creedmore, 7-08 rifles and brass are just about non existant. I have found some Lapua 7mm-08 for about $165 / 100 and the Lapua .308 is $30 cheaper. These are still a Rolls Royce options compared to bulk WW .308 brass at $40/100.
My question is if i use WW or other .308 brass to make up my cases am i likely to get enough variation in capacity between brands for issues to arise and are their any brands in particular to stay away from? I read that WW .308 have more capacity than many. Federal have less than most. This may not be true though and I maybe over thinking it.
