I used Din's 30-40 chamber reamer for my build.
It was a very well used chamber reamer and had obviously cut a lot of chambers and been sharpened a few times because it cut a way under sized outer...

But the PH 30-40 and it would hardly hurt the credit card at all

Better yet trade me a decent action for it

The 30-40 is a great cartridge for the handloader
Brass can be made from 303
It has a nice long neck and conventional shoulder
Great case capacity gets you in to mild 308 velocities at the lower...

Just...

Yes that's what the lists tell me
But they are 0.1mm thicker and just won't go in
Another brand of shell holder might be fine

grandpamac you neglected to tell me that I would need a unique shell holder for the 30-40 cases

But when I find a suitable barrel for the single shot I will be away laughing
The bevel on the...

I thought I might drop the LE barrel in a Martini Enfield action and have an interesting single shot
But someone might want it more for one of those new fangled bolt action Lee Enfield's

Well I brought home a Lee Enfield threaded Din Collings 30-40 barrel today
Dated 2008 and made from a Browning machine gun barrel
Bore is absolutely mint
The job lot included dies and 60 new...

That would be a great option to hang on a nice single shot action
