I have an opportunity to purchase a .30 cal. Newton rifle built on a Model 70 action w/bull barrel - realy nice rifle! My only concern is brass. Has anyone tried reforming .375 Ruger or .375 Ruger basic brass
to this calabre ? I heard Jamison makes .30 Newton brass, but I have not been able to locate a source.
Thanks,

Have you loaded for a wildcat before? This one looks pretty easy, but I have no particular experience with them. Use lots of lube and if you can anneal the necks after forming.
