.30/.357 Reamer needed

Does anyone out there have a Chambering reamer in .30/357?  I have a nice .30 cal barrel and I want to try to make a fixed ammo offhand rifle.  I know that the .32/357 is based on the .357 Max case so it is possible that there is a reamer for the .30 as well???

Any info would be appreciated!

Look Into the .30 Wesson

Isn't the .32-30 Remington actually a .30 caliber and I know it has similar dimensions to the .357 max necked down.

Without seeing the dimensions you may be correct...Still I can't do anything without a reamer.  I know that some of the guys were shooting a .30 cal based on the .30-.30 case and that would also work if anyone knows of a reamer floating around for loan or rent.

jeffer1942;
                I would recommend the 30/30 Wesson -which would take the full length .357 MAX brass,  JGS Reamers in Coos Bay, Oregon stocks this reamer.  The 32/30 Rem has a slight bottleneck and [of course] is not a 30 caliber but if you are breechseating it would not matter.   leadball

Just spoke to Marlin Bassett re: the .30 cal.  He is shipping me his chambering reamer and forming dies for the .30/47mm case that he uses in his bench rifle.  Basically it is a 30/30 case formed to a 30 degree shoulder and trimmed to length.  If it comes from "Bass" it should turn ut to be a good shooter and I look forward to seeing what happens with my bbl/rifle combo....
