Sell them
to someone who will use them for their intended bore diameter and try and find .308" 125/130 gr bullets for your use. I can't imagine you can't find someone to buy them in this day and age, prob is finding .308" replacements. Good luck.

Like polishing a turd. You still end up with s**t on your hands.

my suggestion was to sell them to someone who needs a .311' bullet and use the $ to buy .308" diameter bullets for yourself.

.311 diameter bore firearms:
O.P. asked about swaging bullets from .311 to .308. Many US production rifles in 7.62x39 do that by design. (i.e, Mini-30, Colt 7.62x39 AR-15 uppers.) The throat is .312" in diameter, and tapers to .308 within a distance of 3" forward of the throat. This allows for use of .308" or .312" diameter bullets, some state the rifles will shoot either one equally badly. Believe there is at least variation of the 7.62x39 which specifies use of a .308" barrel, believe the reamer is called a "7.62x39 US".
- .303 Enfield;
- 7.7 mm Arisaka rifles;
- Mosin-Nagant rifles;
- SKS series rifles.

Kalash ?? bullets ??
If the bullet you wanna resize are military issued (ak kalash bullets), you will probably have a very HARD time with the steel copper washed jacket and the steel core.
I have done a lot of copper jacketed / lead core swaging from .224 to .22105 usng a RockChucker. Even with such a press, and such a small pill , a miss in the lube is a no-no ending with a bullet stucked in the sizing part and a possible bend stem if you go to strong.
Further more, while a copper jacket is more or less "inert", you will probably have some "spring-back" with the steel jacket, therefore core stripping on firing.
Forget it.
