One Gunner, I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner but I just now saw your post.

I take the bullet down in two steps of .002". I use a Lyman Lubri-Sizer and .310" cast bullet sizing/lub die. Then I change that out to a .308" die. It works quite well and by using small steps the force necessary isn't excessive.
