[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2964269, member: 108926"] You can use 30-06 brass in the 30-03, it was adopted by the us military in 1903 to replace the 30-40 Krag, hence the name 30-03, it was loaded with a 220 grain round nose bullet, cartridge dimensions were nearly identical to the 06 only the neck is slightly longer, cartridge length was 2.540 (which is the case length of the 280 rem) in stead of the 2.294 length for the 06, 3 years later in 1906 the military changed the loading to a 150 grain and shortened overall case length, changing the the name to us 30-06 Springfield.
