[QUOTE="TRexF16, post: 2389139, member: 108912"] Ask around among your shooting friends in your remote area and see if anyone has a .35 Whelen or .338-06 die they will loan you. (I reckon a .358 Win or .338 Federal die would work too. Anneal your case necks (all you need is a propane torch or even a candle - plenty of online instructions). Then run the whole hundred cases over the expander ball in the borrowed die to neck them up to .358 or .338, and give the die back to its owner. Now you can carefully sneak up on the perfect fit in your chamber by sizing them back down to a crush fit with your 30-06 die. This is the no-cost option that will save all these cases for you. From there, you can fire-form them without even needing a bullet using the "Cream of Wheat" (COW) method. Google that too for instructions - I do all my .35 Whelen Improved cases using the COW method. Jamming a bullet in the lands with the cases as is would work too. I know all the above has already been suggested, I just wanted to expand a little on it. Good luck with it. Rex [/QUOTE]
