I have a set of dies for 30/30 that I purchased used a while ago. It's a two die set, so, one to size, the other to seat. I tried to adjust the seating die to crimp but it didn't seem to be a very tight crimp. I was able to remove the bullet without too much effort with a kinetic puller.
The dies are RCBS with the number 79 on the top of them for whatever that is worth.
I received good advice here a while back about using a Lee Factory Crimp die on my .45 ACP loads that I was having issues with.
So, my question is, does anyone here use the LFCD with a different set of dies for the 30/30?
All other rifle rounds that I load for use neck tension only and I do not crimp anything, however, I know this is not possible with the tube fed 30/30. I want to make sure I've got plenty of crimp.
And lastly, anybody using Varget for your loads?
Thanx All!
