SAKO .308W Cases

Post by Walt »

Can anyone tell me the actual, real case length of new, unprimed SAKO .308W cases, straight out of the pack? I am aware the specs say 2.015 inches for a 308W case but most new, unfired cases (of most brands) sold at retail measure between 2.002" and 2.005" .

2.015” is the sammi max case length. 2.005” is the trim length hence why all new cases are around that measurement.
Can’t help with Sako case length sorry.
