I'm planning to build 388-06 on a Mauser vz 24 action with an AB barrel. I have noted the magazine is going to be a little on the short side (about .040) and I'm wondering how much luck I'll have necking up 30-06 brass instead paying through the nose for new brass. I plan to get an RCBS FL die set and get an extra 8mm expander so I can do the expanding in two steps. I would sure appreciate advice from any who have experience here.
