Hey guys, I have a Marlin 336C that I'm refinishing and working on b/c it looks like some 12 kid drug it all over the woods and beat the heck out of it b/c... well... I was 12 when I got the gun. Lately I've been intrigued by the 30-30 AI and the 307 WIN. I've read on forums that people have converted their old 30-30's to these calibers, but I haven't been able to figure out HOW exaclty the process works. Obviously you need to buy a reamer, but other than I don't know whre to start. My questions are:
Will the 336C blow up in my hands if converted to a 307 WIN?
How do you actually convert it over? Just buy a reamer and go to town on your chamber?
How do you fireform the brass for 30-30AI? I already reload and saw that Midway has 307 WIN brass but no 30-30AI brass.
Lastly, on a slightly different note, I haven't reloaded any of the leveRevolution bullets, but they look like fun to say the least. Does anyone have any experience with them? How do they group, shoot, perform on game, etc.?
A little advice would be most appreciated.
