30-30 wildcats
Lowey,
I shoot several 30-30 based wildcats in my Ruger #1's and #3's as well as TC's. The rim of 30-30 brass is .506 dia. .204 Wasp, .219 Wasp, .219 DW PDK, .224 BRM, 6.5 Bullberry Imp., .30 Herrett The .204 Wasp and .219 DW PDK are my own wildcats. The .219 Wasp been around for many years. The .224 BRM is EABCO's design and their chamber is to long to use 30-30 brass, so I necked down 38-55 brass. I shoot the 6.5 and .30 in TC barrels in IHMSA steel silhouette. Dave |

Very sorry guys I did mean 30 carbine some times the hands dont type what the brain is thinking must be getting old !
Thanks to so many for there replys all very interesting But what i was looking for is the wildcats made from the 30 carbine as it is close to the hornet in the bolt face size Thanks Again Lowey |

As far as brass goes, most makes of .30/30 brass has a large variation in weight. If you can find .225 Winchester brass, it might be better - or perhaps .375 Winchester brass - not only better quality control in the .375 stuff, but heavier walled in the head area as well.
As to the comparrison on rim size to the .30Carbine case? Not even close. Now, a standard bolt face ie: .22-250, .243, .308, .30/06, etc, isn't far off, at .473" compared to .506" therefore a .30/30 rim can easily be turned down to fit the standard bolt, but the .30 Carbine has a tiny little rim of .352" to 354" in comparrison to .506" of the .30/30. I've used Carbine brass, cleaned, annealed and poured with lead & formed, for .358" rifle bullets & they worked very well indeed. There is a .22 and a .17 on the Carbine case - normally called the PeeWees. Foxhunter has one or two in .17 cal. The necked down carbine case has about the same capacity as the Ackley Bee case, but the smaller rim. The Bee's rim is .408".
