Default hot dang 308 to 35 rem, it can be done

I got a hair a few days back (when I looked for 35 rem brass on line, none to be had) and after a bit of reseach and my own idea's I got it..
1 use358 rcbs expander ball it works better than my lee
2 full length resize to 35 rem neck is long at this point
3using a 44 mag lyman sizer with the depriming rod removed and a shell holder that I've ground down to where it just has a lip left and run it all the way tight this removes the bump the 35 dies leave then with a drift pin or a 5/16th bolt drive the case out of the die
4 trim to length and then turn the neck down and then anneal
5 resize again.
time spent 1 hour for 20 pc
for the time being I've got brass so this is basically a can it be done thing but I know now I can do it if he need arises
I did not worry about the base of the brass as both my 35's are on bolt rifles, a tikka t3 and a savage axis
