That's what I was thinking but I'm not a professional gunsmith. Just trying to wrap my head around it and make sure it's correct. I'm building this gun to shoot 600 and 1000 yard competition matches so factory ammo is useless to me other than for just the brass. And .308 factory ammo is never cheap so I guess it's in my best interest to leave it how it is. I know this way my brass won't get over worked by stretching and resizing. If I keep it this way I should probably always full length size then or can I neck size as well? I probably will never sell this rifle but that is a good idea.
