Use same loading as 30-30 Winchester. You will not be far off.

I've used the same loads as 30-30 for mine. Even made cases from 30-30. Not quick but do-able if you have a lathe to take the rim off and cut an extraction groove.

Case capacity of my Remington brand 30 Rem is exactly the same as the capacity of my Remington 30/30 brass, so like Lefty Dude says, use 30/30 load data and you'll be fine.

Remington makes a run of this every few years (I don't know what their schedule is, but.... occasionally). The last run was (I believe) in 2013 and I don't know if you'll find any of this run remaining on a dealer's shelf. The last place I knew of to get the stuff was Reed's Ammunition Service and I just checked and he shows "on back order" (besides showing a hemongous price) so I think it must be pretty well gone. You may need to go M. M. Wright's way and make some from 30/30 brass via some lathe work if you don't already have the brass on hand.

Isn't .30 Rem the starting brass for the 6.8 SPC round?

Jnyork, what firearm do you have that is in .30 Rem? A model 8 or a model 81, or something else?

I would .30 Remington brass and .30 Remington load data. :D Both are out there.

The "birth" of the 6.8 meant .30 Remington brass was readily available again.

I load .32 Remington , from necked up .30

I have a Remington 141 I got from Glen Fryxell and I reload for it. Just consider it a rimless 30-30 and all is well.

Well they did indeed use the 30 Rem basic case dimensions but chopped it off kinda' short. And on the bright side, you'd never have to worry about trimming your cases if you make 30 Rem out of the 6.8 SPC

I suppose they said "Well we're making that case head, we might as well make some 30 Rem". The web is the tricky part, length is easy. ;)

Reason I asked, I was cleaning out my ammo locker the other day and came across this, have no use for it and thought someone might want it, contains 20 brass fired X1. First guy to post "I'll take it" gets it, I'll mail it right out to you.

As a fellow with two of the 30's and 2 of the 25's to feed I'm going to say that is mighty nice of you Mr. York and I'll gladly take them.
