32 special to 7-30?

[RustHunter87]

Any one here ever made 7-30 waters from 32 special brass instead of 30-30?
I had 12 pieces of 32 mixed in with some 30-30 I had, they resized fine is there any reason to use them or more importantly reason to NOT use them if I can find more?

I have used 30-30 to make 32 SPL and at other times used 32 SPL to make 30-30 brass and it worked both times without a hitch. Just make sure the neck thickness is OK for the 7-30 Waters formed casings on whatever you use after reforming. Those 32 SPL might be a bit thicker when sized down to 7MM. Also I would anneal the neck/shoulder first to make sure they form and do not crush.

I have fired a few of my 32spl cases through my 7-30 Contender barrel many times with no issue. Use them.
