Can't be sure because I don't load the caliber - but bushing ODs are standardized to fit in all compatible dies (neck type bushing dies). Maybe someone else can chime in. It should work.....
Perhaps but the improvement is not. I have, and .30-06 and .30 Gibbs, and I assure you the .30 Gibbs is not your typical venerable .30-06.A 30-06 by any other name is still a 30-06
I agree! Another example is Rich Sherman's improved cartridges.Perhaps but the improvement is not. I have, and .30-06 and .30 Gibbs, and I assure you the .30 Gibbs is not your typical venerable .30-06.

@Tac-O is simply trying his hands on wildcatting. He ran into a snag, but he'll figure it out. It's all part of the learning process.
... and before that are ICLs. I actually considered the .30-06 ICL Caribou, but I was fascinated with the Gibbs and the reamer and dies and already available. All of these .06 variants are impressive and fun project builds.I agree! Another example is Rich Sherman's improved cartridges.

Sorry, Brother, I did not mean to get you into more trouble.That's an interesting sounding one! I'll have to check it out
Perhaps you can do the test and share it with us.Hmm, so if you run a regular 06' at the dame unsafe pressures Gibbs did to get his claimed velocities, wonder what it would do ?
What does 8% more capacity equate to in FPS ?
Even P.O. said that most "improved" cartridges didn't do much.
Agreed! And sometimes, the gain is not necessarily all in the velocity.Some cartridges gain more than others. All gain one very important attribute - which is why I personally went the AI route in several cartridges years ago. Case growth goes to almost nothing with the steep shoulder angle. I hate having to trim brass and monitor growth. I almost never have to trim my Ackleys.
