[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1655058, member: 48043"] If it's correctly chambered... chamber round, pull trigger... If it's not correctly chambered, get it set back to correct chamber dimensions and see first step... As to loading re-formed 30-06 cases... go for it... I have a ruger Hawkeye in 35whelen (regular chamber) and it is one of my best shooting rifles. I use primarily a batch of ww 30-06 cases I bought over 20 years ago at wally world as clearance 30-06 ammo. They were ran over a tapered expander and squared up when they were needed for the whelen. As to neck dimensions, my rp 35whelen brass measures .381" with a speer 220 fp in the neck; my ww 30-06 re-form whelen ammo measures …. you guessed it.... .381" with a speer 220fp in the neck. The accuracy issues really suck though. The whelen shot a .300" group at 200 followed by a .300 ish group at 100 (by fellow member Jweiel) the last time I had it out when conditions were decent; that was a couple years back in remmy reformed brass... The conditions really have to suck before she'll even get to a moa rifle. [/QUOTE]
