From personal experience, 30/30 case is weak. So, when you find the accuracy node, primers can be punched out of the case with a straightened Paper clip. Some brass did not survive the fire forming. There are better ways to piss away $1200-$1500 on a custom rifle, dies, brass, bullets.

Had a 6.5x30-30 Imp for a Contender barrel. Bought it used and it was a bit finicky. Sold it off and am now working on a 6.5 JDJ for my Contender. I find it brass forming a bit easier. The 225 Win brass is the key, but it wasn't easy to accumulate my stash...

A 6.5 - .30-30 would, these days, be stiff competition for the 7-30 Waters.

Sounds perfect for a TC single shot. Rifle or handgun. RZ.

I love any idea to put new life in lever action guns. Mine is a Marlin 336 in 250ai. Got it built and still playing with the perfect load.
