I have a Canadian Centennial 1967, Win. 94, 30-30.
The rifle has zero throat. None of my reloads that have bullets with a .300 , .301 nose would chamber.
Ian gave me the idea of nose sizing to fit the rifle. I have a Lyman 311466 that is plain based and shoots well in many of my .30 cal. rifles. I decided that I'd use this bullet with some nose sizing in my 30-30.
I ordered a Redding .298" bushing. Buckshot made me a nose sizing die many years ago that takes the Redding bushings. The bushing arrived today. Bingo !!!!!!!! Problem resolved.
With the OAL you see below, my rounds now chamber very smoothly.
Next item of business is to send them down range and see how they perform.
