This bullet is .311 and the .30-30 bore is .308. Makes a great low power load for my .30-30's.

I have thought of doing the exact same thing for 7.7x58mm Japanese.....all that inexpensive 7.62x25mm ammo available all over the place is just asking to be tinkered with.
Do you get reliable/consistent ignition with that small amount of powder in the .30-30 case?
