Thanks.

I told the seller (friend) about how the "Start Grains" (49-50) filled the .308 case to the neck's edge, and I knew that this was not a good thing.

It looks better in the longer .303 brass, but the very long, pulled Russian 150 gr. bullets would at least touch and slightly compress the powder. Not taking any chances.

He has reloaded for many years (set two records with his AR on the Navy Team:200/600 yards) and told me that we could work out a solution, after I suggested a note at the club to offer a trade.
This guy is very knowledgeable. He sold me several lbs. of WC 852 ("similar to H-380") and 4895, but prefer to save the 4895 (fast burn) in case I learn to reload for the M-1.
