[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1899174, member: 2736"] Using the 35 Whelen as a parent case Is the best way to start in my opinion and if you can get/find once fired 35 Whelen brass you are just one step closer to sizing down to 30 cal. I prefer fire forming the Gibbs the same way as the 30/06 AI. (Size the cases .004 thousandths longer than the chamber so there is slight compression in the new chamber) and load middle of the range loads for the cartridge and fire form. This process does a very good job of fire forming without wasting components and these fire forming loads can be used for brake in and close in hunting. The smaller case volume will hold the pressure down in the larger chamber and good fire formed cases will be the results. Good choice and a very nice rifle 👍 👍 J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
