[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1169289, member: 5219"] EOS? End of Show? I had to look it up. I have a 300 RUM. In another year or so my brass will need to be replaced. At that time I too may switch to another cartridge. This may sound crazy, there is always Hornady 375 Ruger brass at my local Sportsman's warehouse and on line. 30 Nosler isn't common yet and even 300 win mag brass is getting hard to find. Necking the 375 Ruger to cartridge to 30 cal may be a bit of a chore but if brass availability is an issue what else can you do hope your favorite brass eventually shows up? I am currently making 7mm/375 brass and use a Whidden custom bushing/FL die for some of the forming. I use a 338 RCM die earlier in the necking down process . It would be easy to use that setup for 30 cal. Just need a reamer. As for a competition seating die, I can re cut the shape of the sliding piece in a Redding comp seater die using the new reamer, just as I did for the 7/375. The 300 win mag case capacity according to this source, [url=http://kwk.us/cases.html]Case Capacities[/url] , is 89 gr while the 375 Ruger is 100. So the 30-375 Ruger would pretty much duplicate the 300 Weatherby, 99 gr, AND fit into a standard length magazine. [/QUOTE]
