I think you`ll find the 30-30 case a bit too long to make the curve into the breech without work [extensive] on the breech-block. I just finished one in 357 Max and had to do a lot of work on the feeding aspect of it. Whatever you do make sure and bush the firing pin or you`ll have problems when you start getting the pressure up there. If I can figure the pic thingy I`ll include a shot of the one just finished. You might want to consider something like the 25/20 or 357 Mag.
Aloha, Mark

g'day there thanks for reply and pic,357 max thats cool.well i still would like to use the stock barrel if i can,
or one of me 303 barrels,i have one thats rechamberd to 7.62x39
or 2 others in 303.the 7.62x39 is 21 in long and iam now thinking
about 30 herrett or maybe making a 32 herrett there is also a shortened 303 round made in stralia in one of me books.i use to load 85gn jhp 32 (.312) bullets in my 7.62x39,and man did they
blow up.that was going to be my wild dog load,and they grouped
about 2 in at 100 meters.i smashed a fallow deer with the same
bullet in my no 4 lee enfield 303,doing 3095 fps it shot very flat
out to 100 meters and ka boom there like small bombs.now i don't recommend those light bullets on medium game but i just had to try it.well coming back down to earth,i love to think out side the circle and have things to talk about,it makes a day at the range that little bit more interesting.if i re barrel i would like something like 357 herrett, 44 mag, 454 casull, 45 silouette,now all of these would cost money wich i don't want to do right now.a few hundred is ok, mixing and matching and open sights is the name of the game.357 maximum mmmm i had to go and read up about it very interesting,cartridges of the world only had pistol
data how many fps are you getting and what will you use it on ??
thanks again mate iam sure you have fun with that lil beauty.see ya.
