I sometimes have too much time to ponder things...and was thinking how about a 30-30 BFR reamed out to fit .307 Winchester? I reload for and shoot a Winchester lever .307 and the ballistics are great, getting real close to .308 ballistics. I have a 45-70 BFR and the 307 round against the cylinder fits length-wise nicely. So what are your thoughts?

OY VAY!! Is the BFR up for pressures to 50000 psi?

Doesn't the .500 S&W chambering generate that much? And at least with the 307, there'll be a bit more meat in the cyl compared to a .500.

Wouldn't a 30-30 BFR in stock form also have this problem (back out and lock up)?

Still it aint for me. Novel idea though perhaps. |

The gun can take it and setback may or may not occur. I've run 40,000 PSI with my 30 Streaker without a problem. Sounds neat. -Lee www.singleactions.com"Building carpal tunnel one round at a time" |
