There was that gentleman over on Jouster who blew up a LN using reformed krag brass but I don't have the particulars at the moment.

I bought a run of "LN ammo" from Buffalo Arms that was reformed from virgin 25-06 cases.  The first batch had neck splits even before I fired them and the second batch, purchased two years later, did not have any splitting issues.  Would 30-06 give a longer neck than 25-06 when it is sized downard?

I will keep an eye out for pictures of the different bolts.  Just not familiar enough with it.


Geez.  I wish I had access to the rifles so I could know for sure.  Do you have the various pamphlets and manuals for the LN?
