    A buddy of mine wants me to reload for his 308 He bought some "old" dies at an auction. He told me that he will buy the primes, powder, and the bullets (from Sage of course). So now I'm trying to figure out what depth to set them at.

    The minimum can be all the way to the specific ogive of the bullet being used. Just remember as you seat the bullet deeper, pressure goes up.
    They can't test every bullet for every depth as is would cost too much, and would be a waste of their resources.

    Max COAL is usually BS too, it is usually just Mag or box mag lengths.
