Sorry I can’t turn the right way up.

You will end up 20 thousandths or so short at the base, if they survive fire forming.

My 25-35 cases measure .248” with .224” bullet seated, 30-30 were .249”. Fired all measure.253”.
My chamber was cut with standard Clymer .219 Zipper reamer, I don’t remember my chamber cast but I...

I make .219 Zipper cases, 25-35 cases are the easiest. Sorry I don’t have any factory .219 Zipper to measure. I made a chamber cast to measure the neck and turn as needed. Starting from annealed...

lathesmith made a .316” size die for me, along with other custom sizes.

and that trigger guard, in post 34???

From the web, easier than taking one apart.
The other 2 pic are out of mine to show the markings.
I have a mix match of new & used barrels, my problem ...

All barrels TC manufactured, all early 90s & earlier.

These are of my 5 digit set unmodified trigger guard. In the close up you can see where a taller barrel lug is hitting the trigger guard. This is where I ground the clearance.

The top forks (red) unlock when the trigger guard is squeezed to open. If the top of the trigger guard hits the bottom of the barrel lug, it can’t travel far enough to unlock. This was the...

Yes taller as in top to bottom, the trigger guard release hits the lug and doesn’t release the locking bolts. I ground clearance on the trigger guard, no more than it took it probably could be taken...

My 44 mag hotshot on bottom, new barrel on top. .100” lug difference.

I had the same problem, compare the barrel lug dimensions. The newer barrel lugs are thicker(not locking lugs)and bind on the bottom.

EastoftheBay,

Study the link grizzleebear listed, look for the insert with your camera.
The first one I saw I could see the insert by looking at the chamber face of the barrel.
If it’s in fact...

I start with a 7-30 trim die shortened to put the shoulder to the 25-35 length then into a 25-35 trim die.
7-30 dies only size a short portion of the neck and was of no use util I shortened it to...

All good advice, get a stick on oil pan heater or 2, the 15W40 gets thick and a bra for the front grill. A timer will save on the electric bill, 3 hours on starts the same as 8 hours. Watch interior...

We were getting metric add on tools in our tool sets when I got out of the Army in the mid 90’s.
All of the maps were in meters/km, odometers still read miles
Don’t know where they are at now.

When I was a PVT in the Army Motor Pool, I was told to check the spark plugs in a deuce and a half (diesel). They all crapped when I came back with the preheater igniter plug. I was left alone...

NOE 316299 solved my 303 problems, I size .316 for most.
My 2 P-14s and a No1 barrel get sized .314, as .316 didn’t want to chamber.

If I was wearing your shoes, I’d buy him a box of new brass off gunbroker!

Before I got too far into this I would section an original .225 case and compare the internal dimensions to the 30/30. The outside maybe the same but the .225 was loaded to a much higher pressure. I...

I buy new, I like to watch it fall apart from the beginning!

Lathesmith is my choice.

A short clip of No4MKI* Savage 2 groove, NOE 316299 starting load of 4759.

I’d look at loading procedures, using standard dies don’t work out well. I’ve went to using Lee collet dies & NOE expanders to load oversized projectiles. NOE 316299 has done fine for me with 2 and 5...

Mauser cases from 30-06 is a far cry from making .219 Zipper from 30-30.
