I've acquired a lovely old Win 95 in .30-40 Krag. Although I can find ammo in a few places, I keep coming across threads on various sites (including this one) where people have talked about forming .30-40 from .303 British. When I look at the case drawings, I would need to bump the shoulder back .065". That seems like a lot to shove through a full length sizing die. The overall length would still come up a fair bit short but that would probably be manageable. I just can't get my head around pushing the shoulder back that far. I'm assuming you would definitely have to anneal the brass before attempting something like that. I'm not sure I'll even bother trying it but I would love to hear what others have to say about pushing a shoulder back that far.
