Boy was it a pain. I tried .30-30 brass first. Cutting them down, trimming and thinning the rims, inside teaming. What a chore. The pawl gearing on the cylinder from gun to gun is a huge variable wild card. I think I abandoned the initial effort and made “10mm Auto Rimmed” from heavily modified .41 Magnum.

I sized in a .40 S&W die, turned the case web down in the lathe and heavily modded the rim thickness and diameter. They finally worked for proof of the exercise but by that time I had lost interest. They also fit my .401 Herters. I was NOT butchering up those original cases. I make those from .41 magnum too for actual use.

FWIW
