Im thinking about reloading 30 carbine for my M1. If I buy a carbide sizing die, will I still have to lube cases? I think that will determine if I want to reload `em!
I load .30 carbine for $73/1000 rounds, I think that's a substantial savings over buying loaded ammo. I load mine using a Hornady LnL AP with steel Hornady dies and a case feeder. I just dump a few hundred cases in the feeder, turn the feeder on, and hose down the cases with spray lube as the feeder tumbles them around. Even with carbide dies, I don't think I'd want to load w/o case lube. Too much force required.To me, in this caliber, the savings isnt great enough to warrant reloading them. I hate lubing, and removing lube!
