…the bright side is the 6.8 round uses the same case head size as the "old" .30 Remington, so when they started making 6.8 brass .30 Remington brass because available at tolerable prices. I looked into it myself two years ago before buying my .32 Remington.

No and this is apparently a common misconception. (reply)

There is the old .30 Remington and there is the new .30 Remington AR. Different.

Just to hijack the topic and drift a bit for fun, it seems to me, after much cogitation, that the .300 AAC Blackout is the single most practical .30 for the AR-15.

I do see new .30 Rem brass here and there. Being a relatively low pressure round, I suspect brass life will be good eaning you don't need tons. Brian A's Dad had a bunch of loaded ammo and I bought a few boxes for my Dad when he got his M-14 (boy, that's ugly sentence structure). Don't know how much, if any, is left. Fun guns...wouldn't mind one at all in .35....

.30 Remington Brass Question

Is the .30 Remington cartridge that's being chambered in the AR-15 platform the same cartridge dimensionally as the old .30 Remington that was chambered in the Remington Model 14 and 141 and some of the early Remington bolt actions?

I'm looking at a Model 141 and I wanted to be sure that the brass was reasonably available before I bought it.

Thanks.
