Hi esko, I think your .30 short is a great idea! I have some questions about the cartridge? At 29.5 mm loaded length, how much shorter is it then a standard .30 luger?

Do you think it is balistically close to the .30 luger, trajectory, velocity, etc?.... (the .308 is very close to the 30,06 for example), what is the barrel length? Can you form the case in one operation, or do you have to do it in progressive steps? Do you have to trim at all because of the forming? Have you tried lighter bullets? I am very interested in your results, as I love to shoot, but hate to hunt for brass! Thanks, till....later.....G.T.
