What are the twist rates of 30-30 Win. and .309 JDJ? What would it cost to rechamber a 30-30 to .309? Thanks.

i'm thinking i've heard some of the older 30-30 barrels were 1 in 14" :? my factory 30-30 ackley improved barrel is 1 in 10". it shoots great with 125's and 130's. havn't tried anything else yet.

just call, or email ssk for a rechamber quote. it's probably listed on the ssk site also.

Thanks. I would love to have a .309, but they are definitely pricy!!!

a feller can get in a 30-30 Ackley improved pretty reasonable. lee is now making dies for about $25. cheap plentiful brass too! :lol:

What is the average price of having a 30-30 rechambered to AI? Where's the best place to have it done?

i seen $75 mentioned somewhere. a local smith here said he would do one for $40. so, somewhere between, i reckon. check around. :wink:
