convertin a 308 to 307!?

[William Iorg]

Heres a picture for you of some formed cases.
Looking from the left you will see a .308 Winchester, a .307 Winchester and a reformed .444 Marlin case.
In the center is a .444 Marlin, note the rim and extractor cut just above the rim.
On the right is a reformed .444, .358 Winchester and a .356 Winchester.
the reformed Marlin cases work fine through the action of the Winchester Model 94 Big Bore rifles. There was no need to neck ream the cases for eaither caliber.The loads apear interchangeable as far maximum loads go. that is to say a maximum load in the .307 case is fine for the reformed .444 case. The point of impact for the bullets is slightly different though. As you point out, brass is available about all year round if you seek out one of several vendors that carry it so there is not a lot of point in working hard to make the cases..

I meant to mention the guys name who made the Savage 110 series rifles feed the rimmed .307 cases. I cannot find the issue of the Fouling shot that mentions his name. My understanding was that once you know the trick it was not terribly difficult to make the Savage feed a rimmed cartridge. But I have not done it!
