Well, that damaged case would make for a fine dummy round. The basic case, is there such a thing as a 30-30 Maximum?

40-30 !
303 basic would be nice but it needs to be 9.3x74 to cover all the lengths of that rim/head family . It's nice 410 too .

30/30 basic = 38/55, circa 1880, a lengthened 38/50. Thank you John Marlin, manufacturer of Ballard rifles.
Your case is just stamped wrong!
I don't think you could make a true 40-30 out of 30-30 Basic as the case walls would have to be paper thin even if using 0.401" bullets. The stated base diameter of a 30-30 is 0.421" and most factory cases are really around 0.415"+. Looked at this a couple of times and the only way I could see doing it was to use 303 Brit cases or maybe 303 Savage (which are way too expensive). If you want a 40 caliber case in 30-30 length just cut down 405 Win cases so loaded OAL is around 2.55" (for a lever gun).

Bought some bagged 30-30 brass one time, didn't have the flash hole drilled/punched.
Hey Guys,
Winchester did experiment with the 408 Winchester, base diameter was .446".
