Here’s a quick question being tossed out for you knowledgeable folks. I though I had the answer but come to find out I surely didn’t. When sorting through some ammo a year or more back, I came across a weird looking 30-.30 with straight sides. I double checked the head to make sure it truly was a 30-.30 and it read that it was. The rings seen around the left round I believe are from my using steel wool to get some crud off it before using a little polish.
I figured someone really screwed up when they were reloading. Then I remembered that when a friend and I bought our Super 14, Thomson Contenders we had decided on the 30-.30 instead of reforming cases to shoot the 30 Herrett. So I thought that it was a 30 Herrett round that I garnered somewhere but no it surely wasn’t, once I had Googled images of it.
30 HERRETT
I made a quick search last night to find the round in question so I could take some measurements but didn’t come across it. If the definitive answer about this round doesn’t arrive I’ll give it a go again and find and measure that little rascal round. Thanks for any thoughts on this.
