Hi All,

I may have the chance to pick up a really nice Remington 14-R pump carbine. While I have wanted one of these for years, I was always looking for one in .35 Remington due to it's easily available ammo. Now this one comes along in .30 Remington. I know reloading data for the 30-30 and .30 Remington are interchangeable, but I have never messed with the .30 Rem. Anyone have any idea how hard it is to come up with brass? Dies, bullets and the like for the 30-30 can be used. I don't think factory ammo is available for the .30 Remington, but that is not a major problem since I reload. Since you can't make .30 Rem brass out of anything else, THAT might be a problem. Any comments?
