7.63 Mauser reloaders out there?

Sometimes known as .30 Mauser, need to speak to someone who has converted .223 to fit.

I load 30 Mauser, for my C-96. Never tried the 223 conversion, but, IIRC, its fairly involved. The Starline brass from Midway has worked great for me, and so far, no availability problems. With the price of .223 brass these days, why not just sell some, and use the money to buy new brass?
What are you shooting this in? If it's a Broomhandle, figure on losing 20% each time out......these throw brass into the next county!

Thanks for the heads up. Being the " patron saint of the find this a home", I was given some 223 brass and the task of I.D.ing it, and steering it to a good home. Obscure? just a little. After some digging in my wild cat books my best guess is, the now milled 1" brass was someone's project to make some 7.63. I just thought that someone out there could use them. I guess I'll just put them with the rest of the scrap brass.

Thank you again
