Gary Reeder 30 Raptor uses 204 Ruger brass (shown with 300BLK)
289049

Actually the Raptors use 204 Ruger brass which is the spawn of the 222 Rem Mag but shortens when stretched to .308.
Starline 223 Basic much more preferred.
I've had three sessions with the little...

... and today you might add the .224 Valkyrie to that family tree!

Thanks, Guys. I appreciate your experience in these matters.
I will try a bit of all of the recommendations and see what works best in this case.

I appreciate your advice but I'll probably resize and lube them as they measure .311
I was just wondering if anyone had been in this situation and resolved it easily

Recently acquired a large number of .308 cast rifle bullets.
They were made a long time ago.
Any advice on how to clean the years of corrosion off them,

The 7-30 Waters is one that is dang hard to improve upon but my favorite shooter is a 17" 6.5 Grendel barrel by Coyote Arms & Accessories.
My contender is the only gun I need.

In a 10" tube the Herrett does it better than the 30-30.
The octagons are ok but the beef on the bulls helps to manage the shot after pulling the trigger.
I agree that the 14's are most user...

I believe you will realize flatter trajectories when you push the envelope... maybe only a...

Thanks, Bullshop, You guys are a godsend!

Thanks, again,

punchie, I don't have the 300 Imp. Ack. die yet. I'm soliciting a means to reload for a newly acquired 30-30 AI bbl for my contender. I'm seeing if Illinoiscoyotehunter's
remnants of estate die...

Could a set of dies (300 IMP MAG RCBS 2 DIE FL SET) be used to neck size brass for 30-30 AI?
... maybe cut .356" off bottom of size die to reach neck?
Thanks guys,
Jimmy

I love it when a plan comes together.
Thanks, Todd, I just got the same mold for Christmas and your success may be all I need to embark on a casting session.
