I just resized 32-20 cases into 25-20 cases.
Rim is not as thick as the real thing but my Wilson case gauge can't tell the difference.
One dummy I made was not catching on extractor but I had a bulb in the neck from screwing up the bullet seating. I jostled the lever and it engaged.

Well not really at the reloading 'desk' but out in the shop.
I had about 25 old rounds of .30 Luger ammo I pulled the bullets from. I had to come up with a 'creative' way to pull them but it was quick and worked well.
They are 93 grain JSP so I'll probably try about 10 grains of Unique with them for .30-30.
I am HOPING they don't turn out to be some incredibly accurate load as I don't think this bullet style is readily available but it's one way to use up old components!
