Expecting delivery of the barrel in a week or so. Ran some of the Brooks bullets thru a M24 Savage .30-30 to see if they were worth a hoot. 50 yard line, second load. I think it has potential.

Is a variation of the Badger/Reece. For use subsonic with a muffler on pigs. The bullet is from a Brooks mould that casts .310" w/30:1 alloy; 183.5 gr.

Guessing here, but the 30 Sneezer is a wildcat based on the 30-30 case?. If so that would make a very nice cb cartridge and with the case so formed would be pretty strong using the body of the parent case. more info please. Frank

I know there is some variations based on the 38/357 case, and the 30-30 has a shortened round done on it too but it's not that short.
that looks similar to the 32-20.

Yes, Dan, I'm curious too. Is that based on a .357 case? Bet the hawgs never know what hit 'em!

[Digital Dan]

Not far off base there. I'd guess it has a similar case capacity to the .32-20, and that's about what matters at the end of the day. Pondered long about a variety of parent cases and would have been pleased to use some of them except for a common trait. Lack of simplicity. Odd dimensions are expensive and inflexible. Tapered cases such as the M1 Carbine aren't really suitable for long cast bullets....in my opinion...etc. etc. etc.

Yes, a .357 case...
