I see that Hornady list a 308 neck zize die that can be used for other calibers.7.5x55-30/06-300 etc.Can most necks dies for the 308 be used for other calibers or is this something that Hornady came up with?I am looking at a carbide neck die from Lyman now.

Hornady manufactures 3 types of .30 caliber dies:
1) 30 Cal Neck Size Die (.308) 1 Each (caliber specific)
SKU: 046045 | 1/EA
MSRP: $30.95
2) 30 Cal Mag Neck Size Die (.307) 1 Each (caliber specific)
SKU: 046057 | 1/EA
MSRP: $30.95
3) 308 Win MatchT Grade Neck Size Die 1 Each (cartridge specific)
SKU: 544357 | 1/EA
MSRP: $53.20
The first two are caliber specific which means it will neck size for .30 caliber but it doesn't touch the body or shoulder of the case. This will do a multitude of .30 caliber cases except those that are considered to be Magnum. That's why they list a 'Magnum' neck sizer in addition to the standard.
The third die is cartridge specific to the .308 Win. only.
I have a fairly complete set of these dies to use when I'm making wildcat cartridges or experimenting with something different.
Best.
I really want to thank you guys for your knowledge. I think if I get up the guts there may be a chance I'd do some loading or reloading myself. You guys know your stuff.
You should start! Yes, little scary at first but that's a good thing keeps ya focused on what you are doing. Follow the steps in any reload book and your good to go!
I'm suing.
