[QUOTE="fiftybmg, post: 1858216, member: 96316"] I have heard of .375 H&H brass blown out to .404 Jeffery and used successfully despite the 11 thou rim diameter difference. Yes, the shoulder does "disappear". There is only an 11 thou expansion of the walls, which seems close to what you are trying to do, but I think 30-06 brass has less material in the web area, so if you do blow the walls out 30 thou, I expect you to stretch the primer pockets as well. You will only know it can be done if you try it. On the left is the original Jeffery case, .375 size progression is right to left.
