Been reloading .223 for years. Just picked up .308 Win a Lee Delux die set. Tryed to resize and reload some 7.62 brass with a head stamp of M80. Resulting reloaded ammo will not chamber in my Ruger 308 Frontier bolt action rifle. Not sure if i can use this brass or not, or perhaps my die has a problem ?

You're not resizing enough.  If you are not able to chamber it, headspace isn't correct. Make sure you've screwed the die all the way down.

If the case is going into the die as far as possible, then it's a die issue maybe combined with a tight chamber. I ran into the same issue with a Rem 700 but the die set had been heavily used for 35 years so I figured the size die was worn out. Bought a new RCBS set but can't test my theory since I now have a different barrel on that action.
