Contender reloading

[Critter Picker]

I was told when the contender first came out that the Herett calibers should headspace on the shoulder, not the rim for maximum accuracy. With that being said, I would also headspace the 7-30 Waters on the shoulder. Just trying to be helpful and to help you achieve maximum accuracy.

I headspace my .30 Herrett on the shoulder also. When sizing, I size a little at a time until the brass closes in the pistol. Then push the shoulder back about one hundred thousandth more.

Anyone have a source fro brass for 30 Herrett?
Got a T/C chambered in it and havent even fired it yet due to lack of ammo. Ive got a reloading set up out in the shop and dies sitting in my MidWayUSA cart.

That would save a lot of time forming brass. I will remember that when I run out of the 300 rounds of brass that I have already sized.

When you form, do you have to neck ream or turn?

I have not had to neck turn on my .30 Herrett barrel.

When forming are you still getting 0.015" or thinner necks?

I will try to measure some when I get home this weekend. I work out of town during the week.

Just measured 50 and all were .0110 to .015

Thanks. That was a decent amount of effort. I really appreciate that.….and owe you one.

Sounds like form & shoot! I think I see the saw under the tree and a jig is in the mail!

I used to form my 30 Herrets from 375 SM brass. Of course back in the day 375 SM brass was readily available. Now I have to use 30/30 to for the 30 Herret.
