    I am new to this site and unsure of how it all works. I have .307 lever winchester in pretty fair condition. I have a few boxes of good ammo and a little bit of used brass Is there anywhere I can get reloads?

    Thats an unusual one, can we see a picture.
    Re, Re-Loading, probably best to just buy yourself a cheap reloading setup and learn.
    Assuming you won't be getting through large quantities of ammo so probably you are only making up 20 at a time.
    You only need a basic press, die set and scales and possibly a trimmer plus a Vernia to measure length with.

    There are guys around that will reload of others but not many with have dies for the 307Win.

    For 307 you just used 308 dies with a 307 shell holder ( buy a set of lee holders covers all cals ) and use 30/30 projs you can also use downloaded 308 but but they wont extract easily and MUST use flat nosed projs or the hornady ftx in using the mag feed .

    You should be able to use 308 dies with a .30-30 shell holder to reload .307

    Reloading 307 Win is just as easy as reloading 308

    I recently built a 307 Win on a single barrel take down Baikal 12 gauge

    The only problem is getting 307 brass
    If you get fired brass with a used Winchester 94 Big Bore you are made
    If you need brass you will struggle and old stock factory ammo might be your only option.

    I can run my rifle on 308 ammo and being a break action single shot I can get the brass out easily
    A bit tricky in a lever action though

    Sorry to dredge up an old thread; but I had an email from Reloaders Supplies saying they had some Winchester Model 94 Sporter 38-55 Win 24" rifles in stock. I just thought some who were on this thread may be interested. I've no affiliation with them, just thought I'd mention it

    Spotted that. Like the cartridge but not so much the rifle. Lets see what Ruger offers in their new Marlin rifles. 72 year old eyes and open sights don't always see eye to eye.

    Top one is a Miroku MLR - (Browning BLR 308.).

    Bottom one is Browning BLR 30/06 take down. Was listed on here previously when I was looking for a new home for it...Loved using that...Zero at 100m unsupported but with Bipod zero at 300m.....

    I feel the same about my ole BLR 308 , haven't used her much in recent years but too much sentimental value to sell.
