I just measured the extractor groove of some '06 brass. The groove is .406", too small for 11mm threads.

If you trim the the case head off just ahead of the groove, that will leave you with about 5/32" of "web" for threads. Not a lot.

If you fill the extractor grove W/brass, then drill out the primer pocket & tap, that would give you a solid 1/4" or more of threads. Probably enough if a jamb nut is employed.

The 30/30 is only .422", 10.72mm ahead of the rim so that won't work.
