Make up a dummy round and try it in the 03. If it is a good fit you are GTG in my mind.Ok guys, I read thru a lot of the threads on this but could not find the answer to my question, might be dumb but here go's.
My 30:06 rcbs X die is set now for my m1. I have been setting the shoulders back about .003.to .005 and have had no problems with feeding and case head separation. Now for the question!!!
I just got my hands on a real nice 1903 Rock Island that was a rebuild in 1942 with a Springfield barrel in great shape. It must have been put away after that. I got it for a good price and want to compete in the CMP Vintage Rife Matches. Now I've been loading for bolt guns for a while so the question is, the brass set for the M1 will feed without any problems in the 03, should I continue to use this setting on the M1 die with the 03?
Now I understand the advantages of setting only the necks on the bolt guns thus saving the brass. I just don't want to invest in a new die only for the 03. I know this seems silly but in my area and can shoot three time a month at matches and I hate to reset the dies each time....
Lets hear from you !!
TKS!!
How does your loads look in your case Gauge?
