OK so my research has shown me that yes you can make good cases from 30-06 brass. Works for me as i have tons of 30-06, so brass is covered, Second issue, the bullets. Looks like typical bullet size used is .311 Lead with gas checks are fairly common. Well i had been debating on trying a lead gas checked round for my 30-06's anyhow. So who knows if my 30-06 will eat a .311 bullet with out any issues? I hope so as this way i only need to buy one mold.
