Thread: .308 Lapua to 7mm08

So its more a false shoulder than a donut, if it chambers well then it shouldn't be a problem . Iv seen 2 rifles that needed neck turning after necking lapua down to 708. Measure the outside of a fired case from your rifle and a loaded round using your necked down brass. You will need to have some clearance to be sure of consistant functioning. .002 at least for a bolt gun, most of mine are around the 3-4 thou mark.

I wish Lapua made 7/08 brass

Is it all good? I've become some what of a Lapua snob. Plus I have a bunch sitting on the shelf. I see Gun Works has Norma at $145 for 100, cheapest I've seen it. And Serious Shooters has the Winchester at $60 for 50. About that same as Lapua .308.

No point if it is dearer than Lapua, except no forming
