The .308 Match is our small primer version of the .308 Winchester case. Many competitive shooters prefer the consistent velocities produced by small rifle primers. Like all of our other small primer rifle cases, we utilize our standard .080″ flash hole diameter, as we feel it gives better ignition with slower burning and harder to ignite powders, making it more user friendly than many of the small primer/small flash hole versions of this caliber*.
For the Large Rifle Primer version, please see STA2440
*As with all types of cases this large with small primer pockets, it will require care in powder and primer selection in cooler temperatures to prevent hang fires. Single-based propellants are generally easier to ignite and a quality primer such as the Remington 7 1/2 BR are recommended.
**WARNING** In firearms that use a floating firing pin (such as the AR-15 and its variants), dropping the bolt on a chambered round could lead to a slam fire. It is important that these firearms are loaded from the magazine so that the bolt loses inertia when it strips a round from the magazine. It is also important NOT to use sensitive primers that aren’t designed for use in an AR, as this increases the chance of a slam fire.

If you’re like me, looking for an alternative to Large Rifle Primers look no further! Don’t want to pay the ridiculous price for Palma brass you’ve come to the right place! I was sceptical like and hand loader. Cases came faster than a blonde in the trailer park! Arrived ready to load (though I ran them three the resizing die just to be sure) I was able to work a load up and stacking bullets at 100 yards! Definetly buying again though you guys shouldn’t (more for me) Happy reloading and good shooting my friends!
