I would like to convert my 30-30 94 Legacy to an AI chamber for the advantages listed in the above discussion. Having it done isn't a chore but then what neck sizer do you use? I don't really want to order a full length sizing die since part of the goal is to lessen the working of the brass and make it last longer. A .308 NATO die would work but not all the way down the neck because of the difference in shoulder angle.
Next, How about the 30-06 AI? A .300 Win die is too long and, again, a .308 NATO has a different shoulder angle and won't do the whole neck, but the shoulder diameter is the same. That's not as big of a deal as in the 30-30 because the neck tension is more vital in the later than in a box-fed gun.
Anyone who's doing it already please let me know.
