Your buddy should have done the same BEFORE he loaded a thousand rounds. Whatever.

Sorry my friend I thought I made it clear he was loading with full length sized cases. He just used a rifle he had at the time to check fit. He was loading a large batch. He loads many large batches of other ammo and never had a problem with any before. He loaded a large lot of 44 ammo for me in the past. Only metallic ammo other than my own I will shoot. He is one of the most meticulous reloaders I happen to know. Turns out he had 2 things that worked against him. The dies(RCBS) were of absolute minimum dimensions and the shellholder was much too thick. Both were corrected and his 308s fit more than 8 rifles he has checked them in. A brain transplant Adam?? A little over the top...even for you ...since you don't know the fellow.
