I'm old, smarter in some ways and lazy.

Shortened 30 boo boo?
Brass that never wears out, And better internal volume than 30br.

You're right, But I have a feeling I'm close on the Boo Boo?
I love big .30's and the .30 Boo Boo is a cartridge I always wanted to do, But Finding brass should have been done 20 years ago and setup cost is going to be a lot. Very cool round though.

I guess you missed the part when I said I was lazy.
That would be a lot of work.

Winner Winner Chicken dinner
Easy to do compared to a lot of things I've done over the years.
I wanted large bullet holes for these tired eyes along with accuracy, then enough velocity to help but not too much.
Stand by for news
So that round is a 6GT necked to .30?

Yep
Well, I'm glad someone one the Chicken Dinner and our curiosity has been satisfied. Should be a good round.

I learned something yesterday. SAAMI has thread specs out for suppressors.
I kept looking at that posted pic of yours and it just did not look
like that wide of a case to be in the .308 family.......Just before his
passing, I had a good phone conversation with Stan Taylor similar
to this. He was getting ready for the Tack Driver working with a
30x47, and dang if he did'nt bring up a possible 30 GT for the
future. He wanted that bigger hole the 30x47 would give him but
said he still could not convince himself about a bullet/powder
combo in the short time period, and felt he'd stop screwing around
and put the love to the 30x47.
For what it's worth.....A 112gr 30, with a powder range of N-133 to
H-4198 and a sloooooow twister, I do believe you will find a happy
place. I'm bringing one of my 7's but for other reasons.....LOL
I'm surely following......

With the little bit of extra capacity I had Randy Robinette make me some 125's. Back when I made 30 cal. bullets 125's shot great. VV 133 and 2015 is what I'm going to start with. One of those should work. I had an old 30 American barrel, 30-14 twist barrel that Ed Shilen made for me back in late '80s. It had very few rounds on it so I chambered it up for some preliminary load work. Interesting to see the difference in the steel between the Shilen and the Bartlein.

Those 125s will probably run close to the velocity the ppcs with 68s are at.

Funny you mention this. This new 7.2 I'm working on , I used a rather worn Brux
to make my fire forming mule barrel. They are smooth cutting. Cut like 12L14
peanut butter. The new Hart however is a bit tougher. I would say that your
Bartlien like the Brux never goes thru the heat treat process, the button barrels
go thru for stress relief. Douglas was the same way,. seemed tougher. Going to
be interesting to see what them 125's can be cranked to ??
