25-35 Winchester brass -- Yes, you can!

[Why not?]

Hard to find? Not if you have any 30-30 cases and 25-35 dies.



Just be sure to keep the neck and shoulder area completely free of ALL case lube while resizing.

Case was 2.071 long after forming. Trimmed to 2.040 and chamfered the mouth, all ready to go.

As soon as I get dies, will try taking them down to 22 Savage Hi Power.

Stay tuned,
Ted

Okay, here's the new 22 HP thread-- https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/for...2-Forming-22-Savage-Hi-Power-from-30-30-brass

Very nicely done. That worked out well. Apparently now I “need” a 25-35!

Really? Great job. I tried on 30-30 brass but couldn't get them to resize properly.

I've got 30-30 head stamps on 25-35, 32 ws, 219 zipper, 38-55, 25 rem, 30 rem and 32 rem. The remington stuff required a lathe to remove the rim and cut a groove for rimless.

Really? Great job. I tried on 30-30 brass but couldn't get them to resize properly.

Did you use new or once-fired brass? If not, give it another try after annealing the shoulder area of the case.

And, be sure to keep the neck and shoulder clean of ALL lube while reforming. I know this is counter-intuitive, but it works. There were many creased shoulders created before I had this sorted out.

It was Eagleye on here who I first saw posting about no lube when he was resizing 300 Win Mag to 308 Norma Mag. Thanks again, Dave!
