I load .311 bullets (.303 british) in my M44 and M38. Dies come set up with 308 neck size rods. I use Lee Dies for 7.62x54R and then buy a .303 British decap pin/neck sizer rod and install it in place of the .308 rod. They work and shoot perfect. Did the same thing in my 7.62x39 dies to shoot Hornadys .310 bullet. If you use Remingtons .303 british bullets the crimp ring is in the right spot to use.
