[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 734538, member: 6078"] I recently bought a very nicely built rifle that's the wrong cartridge for me. Its a beautiful Mauser jeweled action with 26" Douglas 1"dia barrel in a benchrest thumbhole stock, set triggers, and a Nikon 6-18 scope w/ shade. Its chambered 308. Nothing wrong with a 308, but its a fairly weak round out at the ranges this thing is capable of. But more importantly, I don't have 308 dies or brass, and I don't want to spend the money getting them when I am not happy with it. I have 06 and 300 mag dies, and lots of 06 brass, but I want to keepthe same bolt, and the 06 ream will leave a ring in the chamber from the 308 I believe so those are both out. Is a 30 Gibbs the right way to go? I understand the fireforming process, so that'd not an issue, and I can have the work done for a case of Miller light because a local Smith (who is very good) will do me the favor. Who here shoots a Gibbs? Any info/opinions would be great [/QUOTE]
