LEE PACESETTER DIES 7.62 X 54 RUSSIAN

Lee Precision includes the expander appropriate for a .308 diameter bullet. Nearly everyone that reloads the 7.62×54 /7.62×53 uses the .308 diameter bullet. The availability and selection of .308 bullets are far greater than .311. In military issue ammo they used a .309 to .311 diameter bullet. The smaller expander is included as standard issue as it is usable for .308 as well as .310 diameter bullets if the larger expander was installed it would not be usable with smaller .308 diameter bullets. The limited amount of load data that is available usually is worked up using .308 diameter bullets.
