What have you made from 30-06 brass?

Real original and thought provoking I know;but I was doing a mental check list deciding wether or not to sell some 06 brass, standard not military! I could make more 8mm, 22-250 etc, what do you or have you made ?

44 Auto Mag but Starline take the pain from cutting, forming and reaming the brass.

Back in late 60's, early 70's - 300 Savage, 8 x 57 - 06 brass was 6 cents a pound - 55 gallon drums at the surplus store (real Army surplus).

44x1.6" same case capacity and length as a 445 Super Mag (middle in the pic) , and 44x1.8" out of an AR10/LR308 or modern bolt action it is equal to 444marlin (right in the pic). Left one is 357AR (max rimless from 223 brass)

Moleman; love the avatar, and would like more info on that 357ar!

Me too!

Other than onesies just to prove to myself that I could do it if I had to, the only three that I can think of are 7.65 Argentine Mauser, 6.5-06 and .35 Whelen. The last two hardly qualify as they are simple one step necking operations.

25,270,280 the 06' sisters .
257 Roberts ,7x57, 8x57 , 9x57
22-250 , 243 , 308 , 358 , 45 Raptor
45 Colts rimless , 45Colts plus to Ruger cylinder length for shot shells.
45 GAP, ACP .

Rowland , mag and rimless Schofield are on deck .
A guy should use up everything he can get out of every piece of brass .

I make 7.92x57js (OK, 8mm) for the Gew88/05.

I've been thinking about doing something for .45acp, but don't know if I want to deal with case walls that start out as too thick.

7.7 Jap

270, 6.5x55, 35 Whelan, 240 Gibbs, 270 Gibbs 7.65 Argentine, 280 AI

it started with 25-06 and went to .338-06 and 9.3 x 62mm Mauser

Well done gents! This is why I'm keeping my mountain of 06!

7.65 Argentine. Mostly because I got a trim die with a set of dies purchased from a member. Actually used .270 Win because I can use the .30-06 brass and I don't have a .270.

I'm simple. 25-06 and .35 Whelen.
Best, Thomas.

7.65 Argentine / Belgian Mauser

9.3x62

7.7 Jap, 8mm, 7.65 Argentine.

243 win,.308 win,. 358 win,. and 7x57

I forgot about the 7.7 and 280 AI .
