Anyone have a chamber or reamer drawing for the 30JR cartridge? I believe it's a variation of the 30BR cartridge. Got an XP-100 built by Kevin Randolph of Texas and the barrel is stamped 30JR and was looking for any and all info. My searches haven't turned up anything useful.
Thanks!
John

30JR Cartridge
No job is so simple that it cannot be done incorrectly.

On a BenchRest (http://benchrest.com/archive/index.php/t-52348.html) forum, they claim that it is based on 6.5 Grendel (7.62x39) case.

I don't have a chamber print, but I have owned several of kevin's 30JR's. It's basically a 30BR with a 40 degree shoulder. I simply necked up R-P 7BR brass to 30 caliber and fired them. Really not much difference than a 30BR. Kevin made some beautiful and very accurate XP's.
Post a pic of yours, heck, it may have been one I owned!!

Re: 30JR Cartridge
I also have a Kevin Randolph XP100 in 30JR, I'm in need of a full length sizing die so I can resize 7mm Br. If anyone knows who makes such a die please let me know.By the way the load I was given when I bought mine was 32grn H335 or 30grn H4895 Hornady 150SP great load hits hard at both ends.
