.223 -> .222 REM. I know........yawn,but It is my first reform attempt . However it will not be my last. Got a list!!!! Lol - CASTER
In regards to shooting safety.Until you are ready to fire, keep your booger hook off the bang switch.
30 carbine to 7.65 long. Difficult and time consuming.

308 to 243, 30-06 to 270, 9mm Luger to 9 x 18 Makarov, 308 to 45 ACP Shotshell
.223 to 300 blk I know it's an easy conversion but we've all got to start somewhere right. And so far that's as far as I've gone.
308 to 300 sav
30-06 to 8mm mauser
.308 MilSurp brass to .243 - back in about 1968 or 69. 3k rounds or so; I find reloading sorta meditative, and fun. Which is good since it can mysteriously run the clock forward by a dozen of hours between times you look at the clock!
Just tried 3030 to 375win. Had a few issues but learned alot. Started out with 30 finished up with 12 good ones, the next batch will be much easier. It was pretty easy and straight forward with the advice and knowledge shared here.
Thanks to all
Be well

7TCU was my first from 223. The toughest was 45/75 from 348. Currently making .351SL now, not a piece of cake.

First was 50-90sharps to 43 Beaumont.
I have a few hundred new 401 cases if you would like to trade buy...
Back in the 60s cheap USGI .30-06 to hard to find 8x57mm Mauser and even harder to find 7.65x53mm Mauser. I seem to think I was paying a penny or two per case back then.
More recently .270 (don't own one) to 7x57 slightly long cases for an M-1910 Mexican Roller. And .357 Sig to 8mm Nambu. And the easy one, all my .308 commercial cases to .300 Savage. In all these I make sure that I don't convert the same donor cartridge to more than one other cartridge to avoid problems with headstamps (e.g. if it is .270 Win, it is a 7x57mm for the RB, if it is .308 Win, it is .300 Savage and if it is 7.62 NATO that and .308 Win is what it is). Hope to avoid problems for the kids/grandkids/great grandkids when I'm gone either physically or mentally.
