Asa, problems with that approach. But, I tried it. Cases lengthen when necked down. Thing is, the don't all lengthen the exact same amount. You end up putting them thru the case trimmer twice... Don’t worry Huey I ain’t hatin for sure! If’n I had drill press I would be mighty inclined to use your method. Were I to ever do a lot of case cutting I would also probably give one of those EBay Jig/hobby chop saw jobs a whirl as well? |

That’s framing quality! Where might something like this be found? |

This is just the little Dremel Drill Press Attachment. Very inexpensive at Lowe's, etc.
Just attach your Dremel and go...

Thanks for the dimensions, this looks like a neat cartridge.

It's impressive for it's size. I've posted a lot about it's cast capabilities. But, it's also a very impressive jacketed bullet gun.
According to the loading manual it pushes a 110 grn to 2300+ fps and a 130 grn to 2100+ fps from a carbine barrel.

I have a Contender barrel in 30 Reece. Just picked up a set of dies from Hornady. I’m going g to use the method above to convert brass. Who has solid reloading data for 30 Reese?

Thanks for the bump
I forgot about this thread and method. Have a Dremel and the drill press already.
I don’t think my 7 Dragonfly requires trimming the 38 Special cases though.

Is this loaded to standard 55k+- like other rifle rounds? |

Years ago, when I first got interested in the 30 Reece, I bought my dies and brass directly from Carson Reece. He also provided a spiral bound loading manual for all bullet weights and load/velocity data for three different barrel lengths. Obviously, I'd have to speculate on the pressures and I won't even attempt that. I can tell you I've loaded cases a dozen times now and never lost one. |

That 357 to 30 has got to be easier on the brass than the 357 to 25. Has anyone tried using the #1 256 case forming die? When I finally get down to forming some brass I'll check and see what the #1 does.   |
