What wildcats are based off 30-30 brass?

The Wasp’s body is blown out and has the magical 30* shoulder.

The rifle is a Taylor and Robbins 25lb unlimited bag gun from the early 1960’s, action is a Mauser with a 31” 1 1/4” diameter barrel, trigger is a double set.
Did you get the rifle from Clair and Don in Rixford, PA? I used to hang out at their shop. Clair was a talker and Don was quiet, both were craftsmen. One of my friends had a Taylor and Robbins 219 DW he got from them.....He sold it and kicks his a@@ daily.
 
I have been told that the Set back dies were made by Paul Bike not Butch Lambert. I have PM in to Butch to verify. Will let everyone know as soon as I find out. Could be either on as my memory is NOT what it used to be
Sorry for any confusion

If I recall correctly Butch never actually made the size dies but he did sell them. He acquired sets made by the late gunsmith John Bunch and resold the sets. I have a set I bought from Butch years ago.

I got it from a guy in Colorado about 7 years ago.
Yeah, your friend should kick himself….

I found this pic on the internet and saw it on another site, there’s some confusion whether the shooter is Clair Taylor or Don Robbins. You might know?

Had some questions about Cost of set back die set.
If I remember correctly with the addition of the 20 & 17 bushings it was about $200 BUT that was in 2017 so I don't know what they would cost. I mean everything else has went through the roof. LOL If you need Paul email Please send me a PM
