cast: My favorite Encore barrel is the 15” 762x39R It never met a bullet, jacketed or cast it didn't like. The Lee C309-113-F over 9gr. Unique is my favorite. GP

The .30 Herrett works well with 12 to 14 inch barrel if you like forming brass.
The .30-30 is the parent case and you can use that case without forming.
The twist with either caliber should be I in 10” with seating for 165 to 200 grain bullets.

I think the necked down 357 maximum case (30 Herrett ?) is very popular. I forget what they call that round? I have a barrel chambered for 300 Whisper, but it has less powder capacity then the necked down .357 maximum

does ” r ” mean rimmed ?? i am big on the 32-20 myself , for fun and rabbits ... if for deer and hogs i kinda get nostalgic for the 30-40 krag . and of course hard to beat 30-30 for anything with cast bullets; brass everywhere . i feel others will have more opinions ( g ) .
