They are thin and do not put up with much misuse.
True!
I've probably destroyed more .30-30 brass from too much elbow grease than all other cartridges combined, at least on the press.

No. This involved two different sizing dies; one old and one brand new. The likelihood of both having a pin or spindle problem would be very long odds indeed.
The two dies are identically adjusted vis a vis the pin. I have other Lee dies in a variety of calibers from 38 to 45-70 and not a single problem with any of them.
Just a note on the case lube. I switched from the thick, sticky factory case lube years ago.
Sounds more like a mechanical issue.None of them could be run through the sizing/decapping die except by force sufficient to damage the case.
Have you run the Pam test yet????This thread was not open for replies by the time I finished my lube test but all of these worked without damage to a 30-30 case. Including olive oil from the kitchen.

If the OP is interested he can read the results here https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/case-lube-shootout.926776/ to keep from also having a can of one shot around collecting dust.
