Thanks for the suggestions. Had some trouble with the site but here is more data and a link to a photo.
Overall length- 2.50"
Base dia- 0.478"
Base to shoulder- 1.925"
Neck length- 0.321"
Shoulder length- 0.188"
Dia. at shoulder- 0.445"
Bolt has not been modified from the org 30 US Krag.

I did get with some semi pro friends of mine (own the Reloaders Bench) and after much searching the best we could come up with is a 30/06 rimmed. Minor differences in some measurements but very close and may to due to the reamer used. Howell's book says to neck down 400/350 brass to form. After looking over the brass they had I think we found something that would work. They had a box of RWS 30 Blazer (?) that could be trimmed, run through 30/06 dies and then fireform. Before I go that route I'm going to see what others have to say.
