    35-30=30 from 30-30 brass

    I am thinking about reboring one of my 30-30s to 35-30-30 (just because) but am not sure whats needed to convert the brass .
    Seems like the dies are real pricey and unsure if that"s all that"s needed or are there additional dies involved ? I have lots of brass and already cast for my 35 Rem so outside of those dies is there anything else I need ? Any advice is welcome ,Thanks Ed

    I got the 2-die set from ch4d for around $80. In particular, I like the resizing die to easily reform those cases in one pass. How you go about loading the already prepared brass is your choice.

    Best to anneal .30-30 brass first before expanding to avoid neck splits.

    Easiest way is to get Starline 2.080" .38-55 brass and just full length resize it and load.
