Need help..Dont understand this 30.30 stuff

[Juiceking]

Hello all,
Ineed help understanding what i have and difference...brass on right is what i think of for normal 30.30 rifle brass..so what are other 2 cases with projectiles...need help confused

Looks like a 30-30 necked up to 35cal. I'm not sure what the official name is for it, 35-30/30 maybe?

I'm not in to revamping cases to make other calibers.
Maybe 30/30 retofitted in to 35 whallen
.

30 Remington. https://www.google.com/search?q=35+...433j69i60l3.3877j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

Somebody used 30-30 brass to form some 35 Remington cases. The 35 R brass is probably difficult to find and fire forming 30-30 is fairly easy...

Looks like someone was making 35/30-30s.

Ahhh now i think we're getting somewhere..backstory my Uncle left me his reload kit and components (thank you Uncle) so ive gotten into reloading so ive been able to shoot during all these crazy times and so im slowly going thru stuff i dont have rifle or pistol for....so would these be the dies

 

[mavracer]

Yep

Mavracer you nailed...i got a TC rifle w/4 pistol barrels which i have yet to fire and sure enough one was a .357 herrett...way to go thank you

No problem that and the 7mm TCU were all the rage back in the day. The 357 Herrett is a fine hunting round for medium game within reasonable range.
Nice Contender, I had one when they first came out.

Mainly my boys shoot it...the rifle barrel and pistol barrel below are .223, then .357 herrett, 357mag and .22lr....my Uncle used the rifle for .223 silhouette competition back in the day

For info the 35 Rem is not a rimmed round. It is rimless like a 308, 300 Savage, or 30 Rem.

.35 Whelen is a rimless cartridge, based on the .30-06 case.

I'm not that knowledgeable on the cartridges I
don't have of reload for.

And not to add CornFusion but my Choice of Contender Calibers for Deer and Hogs is a .30 Herrett. It's another 30-30 necked down and cut off. Mine will shoot a 5" group at a hundred yards with an Aimpoint. I shot the barrel out of my first one, unsure how many rounds but a lot over 12 years. I called Thompson and they had stopped production on the 30 Herrett and offered me another barrel. Nooooooo, I'll Wait... Just bore 1 for Me PLEASE. About 2 weeks later a new 30 Herrett showed up. At this point it has less than a hundred rounds shot through it.

Right. My bad I missed that!

That 357 Herrett is a fine hunting round,as is the 30 Herrett. I have been shooting both for many years and enjoy them both. Brass prep is a little tedious,but being a single shot,you don’t normally lose brass,and as long as you have your sizing dies set up correctly,you’ll get many firings from them. It’s also kind of fun to show up at the range with something most people haven’t seen.
