What dies for 30-30 for cast bullets?

[bigarm]

I am acquiring a Marlin 30-30 through a trade and would like to cast my own bullets, powder coat them and load them for this rifle. What dies would you recommend. I think you need to flare the case a little for cast bullets.

RCBS Cowboy 3-Die Set with Roll Crimp 30-30 Winchester or standard die set with an Lyman "M" die.

Rcbs cowboy set, Hornady cowboy set, or Lyman set.

Strike the Hornady! Should have paid ATTN. To caliber and they only make 'em in pistol calibers. So it's the Rcbs or Lyman.

I had a Devil of a time casting for my "button rifled" Remlin 30-30.

I achieved acceptable results with boolits that used gas checks.

I also found that the Lee, Russian .312 mold, CTL312-160-2R worked well.

It's a bit pointy though. Single load, not for loading the magazine.

Good Luck

I'm using the 2 die RCBS set and I added a Lee FCD for only $13 more.
For a while I was using all Lee dies and that worked very well too.

yes flare the case, because a gas checked round always is the way to go. any die set will work with bullets. when i first started out i had a Lee set, worked just fine. Now i have a Redding set, and that works just fine as well.

I don't know the cost of the Lyman/RCBS sets but can safely say they probably will cost more than a set of Lee's. Reload for about 10 different calibers and all die sets are Lee's and I have never had a problem with any of them.
