I’ll bring this up again to state that I’m using some Perfecta .357 magnum brass that I reformed to .256 Winchester.

It worked just fine.
In case 7mm brass gets hard to find….

32-20 level loads won’t function semi auto in my(wife’s) Carbine- but are still fun. If they are light enough, it’s becomes a straight pull bolt action.

The Ruger .357 bolt action would be great in .30 Carbine.

It would be a blast.
