This afternoon I was loading some 30-06 plinking loads , with the Lee 155 gr Booolit designed for the 7.62x39
I got to thinking ....way to much empty case for my liking ( 1600 FPS load )
So when I was done loading , I started thinking about the problem
OK as I am out of the cheap slow surpluss powder
How do I reduce the case capacity ?
I got to thinking my 30/30 is about perfict for plinking
So ......how do I do this and not blow something up
Would turned cases work ?
I have acesss to a CNC lathe on Sundays
I know the barstock wouldn't be cheap
But if I turned some 30-06 cases with a whole lot less case capacity
Would the necks hold up ?
As even after anealing the neck
IMO that would be the weak point of the turned , not drawn case
Your thoughts
