  According to the Blue Book $175-200. If you're selling, you should see if you can get ahold of boots62--see his post from 11-30-01 11:43 A.M.

  ddhotbot - .307 Win cartridge is basically a .308 with a rim and lower pressure. As far as I can tell it's only made by Olin (Winchester) and only with a 150 grain flat point bullet. It starts out about 100 fps slower than .308 with same weight bullet. The flat point has poor ballistic coefficient so it falls off pretty fast and the trajectory is not as good as .308. Even at that it's a big step up from the .30-30, and if you like lever actions as I do it should make a fine deer rifle wth a 4x scope.

  I would recommend buying some brass, or factory ammo if you don't reload. This is a good round, but was never popular, and ammo and brass will be hard to come by sooner or later. I'd buy several hundred rounds of brass, and a shell holder to fit the rimmed cartridge. .308 dies will work, but you need the rimmed shellholder. DON'T load pointed bullets in a tubular magazine!! Buy the gun, and enjoy it. It's a fine, unappreciatted caliber.
