I've seen a few threads of people asking if their .308 dies can reload 30.06 and the main problem with that being the dies for the .308 are too short and the angle of the shoulder differs. I inherited a set of 30.06 dies and was wondering if the reverse was possible. You can always tighten a larger set of dies smaller, but you can't always do the reverse. I know the shoulder may still be an issue, but otherwise most other attributes should be fairly similar. Anyways, let me know what you think.
