Peterson Brass 30BR

[std7mag]

So, are you saying 7mm BR is shorter than 6mm BR or 30 BR?

Or is there an issue that Peterson needs to know about?

 

[joshb]

I’d buy some!

 

[swadiver]

me too

Some years back I started making my 30BR brass by blowing out fully loaded Lapua 6BR case into a 30BR.

As a consequence of this method, much of the original 1.560 length is retained. So I had my reamer ground with a chamber length of 1.550, and a trim to length at 1.540.

I doubt what Peterson would make would accommodate this, so I would just stay with Lapua.

 

[Bill Norris]

I'd try some for sure.

 

[JTEX]

I'm in!

You bet - with about 0.015" neck-wall thickness, and 1.560", or so, long, so the cases may be trimmed and turned to, within reason, whatever the reamer dictates. RG

Several good points have been made and need to be kept in mind by Peterson Cartridge Company if they want their 30BR to be a hit,

First, there is no SAAMI or C.I.P. specification for the 30BR; consequently they can satisfy everyone’s desires by making the case 1.560 long with a neck wall thickness of 0.015; as stated above.

Unfortunately, if they take the easy route and simply clone it from their 7mm BR with a C.I.P. maximum length of 1.520+ and a neck thickness of 0.012; half of those using the 30BR presently are immediately alienated because, like Jackie Schmidt, they have a 1.550 chamber or longer.

Bump @Peterson Cartridge

 

[Coomer]

i will buy it

 

[Bill Norris]

OH yea this needs to stay active for sure. Using Peterson brass in three of my rifles so far and it seems to be doing well. Most recent rifle using it is my 6BRX. No complaints.

 

[Jager]

If Tim from Peterson is still onboard, would love to hear if there's been any movement on .30 BR brass.

Count me among the many who would love to buy some!

 

[Ccrider]

I would use Peterson 30br. Hope they make some.

 

[jscore]

I’m not overly brand loyal. With that being said, and my last several calibers experience with Petersen Brass…..I would buy their buggy whip if they sold one.

 

[FNSafari]

If you can make 30BR and 6 PPC brass as tough and durable as Lapua brass you should make a fortune.

 

[bubz524]

I would buy it in a heartbeat. Load,shoot, win match. What more do you want.

 

[JEFFPPC]

I recently contacted Peterson about the 30 br. They basically said it's still alive but won't be soon. Sounds like right now they have all they can handle. If they do make it I hope they make it long enough. Kudos to them for getting back to me promtly.

New Bump for 2022! 30BR Brass"

How many cases do 30br shooters go thru? Ppc shooters use more brass than any other discipline out there by a long shot. Lapua sure does keep this fact quiet while other brass makers scramble for the limited buys. Makes no sense

Don't really know how long Lapua 30BR brass would survive in the Bench Rest world but mine is doing very well. I don't abuse it with real hot loads however I do load at what I believe is close to or max loads. My rifle is chambered with a .330 (tight) neck chamber so my brass is turned to @ .098 to give me @ .327 - .3275 loaded neck diameter. I do F/L size my brass bumping the shoulders @ .001 - .0015 with a Wilson die. So far, I do not anneal any brass and my necks seem to be maintaining good tension and I have some that I have loaded six times. I would try Peterson brass if the need arises to get more but for now I think I'm good to go.

It was a rhetorical question. 30br brass pretty much lasts indefinitely
