    Even .305 is just fine. The bullet needs neck tension. If you are loading the 150gr FMJ/BT, it will seat just fine and will go in with pressure.
    Those gauges are a bit tough to use, and aren't accurate unless you chamfer the case mouth first.
    Seat a few and see what it feels like

    I just reloaded about 200 300 AAC. I used Lee Dies. The Neck Tension was tight, I didn't measure it, but the 110 Gr Varmegeddons seated with no issues. Cycled thru my Son's 300 and fired and ejected, no issues.

    That’s what I was thinking. .305 is just about perfect, but the die that only sizes to .308, doesn’t seem like enough to me.

    Thanks Jeff as well. Seems correct to me. I'll seat some to see how they feel.
