What is a traditional  28 that is easy to get or make brass for?

32-20 should be OK then, eh?

What is even close to being Traditional at all now days? Rifle is Cartridge isn't, cartridge is rifle isn't. He or She is but there always seems to be something deemed not to be. The matches aren't even well recognized when everything is right? 
If you play with the names of the cartridges it could be when it really is not. I shoot a 28-35 not at all traditional but if you call it a 28-38-50 it is when really it still is not and is simply nothing other than what the head stamp already points out a 25-35 blown out to 28. That is why I have no intrest in special groups they play by their own rules as they make them up to fit thier own special agenda.
But in trying to answer your question the only one that stands out to be a true traditional is the 28-30 Stevens but if it isn't chambered in the so called correct traditional action it too would still not qualify in the above mentioned group or in a sanctioned Traditional Class match. So no matter which way one turns outside of what has now become the collectors realm you just can't get there if you simply do not have the the same free flowing funds as a collector and that is way outside of my realm. 
So if it looks like a Traditional, smells like a Traditional, shoots the same as a Traditional it is close enough for this old poor boy and I am not handicaped by having to shoot it in the open non Traditional class with those those who say and are in charge of trying to keep the tradition alive but yet they don't so its kind of a really screwed up mess as I see it.

I Hope that answered your question because now I am really confused of what really is or isn't it?

John,
If you re-read the above posted thread, you'll see that it was put together by a number of people not just one person and those people agreed on the rules.

It embodies the same "Traditional" class rifle as both ASSRA & ISSA call "Traditional" rifles. You had a Traditional actioned rifle that qualified but, choose to build yours on a non-traditional action.

It could have had rules that ONLY allowed known 28 caliber cartridges but, in the sprit of "Wildcating" as the "Golden" age guys did in those years, we allow ANY case that had a original BP cartridge loading, to be used but, not shorten, with the exception of the ones Mann used.

The rules are simple and straight forward and not hard to build a rifle to compete.

Bob,
If the 32/20 had a BP loading, it qualifys.

Frank

Frank, Are there rules beyond BP case and original action? 32-20 with a straight taper OK?

Frank it was your idea and their vote and I do not have a problem with that. The problem by making it a per-say elite group is there are not enough members in the group to share more than just a handful of information and no results are being posted for the benefit of others. Nothing from this group has been posted for a couple of years of now. Once they posted their equipment and load data the entire group just seemed to disappear. Being that you are the one that is providing over sight and in charge of posting the results maybe the time has come to open it up to anyone using a 28 to help keep it alive. Your statement In regards to my building a rifle that would have meet the rules of which I simply could not afford would be like me stating you started a group you have not and still don't even participate in yet you are the person in charge of providing the oversight. I am not trying to be rude so please don't take this as such but by your lack of participation their seems to be no incentive to keep the group you established alive and well and thus the lack of valuable information for those interested in the 28's for simply pleasure and or competitive use.
The current group of those using a traditional 28 is just to small to keep the rules as they are in order to keep the valuable information that needs to be shared flowing.

Just my opinion and something to think about as there is very little load data published for one to turn to and it would be nice if one could come here to fulfill that need. Back in 70's the 28-3030 was quite popular and it would be nice to see some of those coming out of the closet as well as others.

Please do not take anything I shared as a personal attack on you. Being that you are the one in charge of the Traditional 28 group there is simply no one else to share my concerns with.
