Why would the OP need to Frankenstein together a die when Lee makes the correct he is looking for?nice that they make one. I was going to suggest trying a 30 lugar or 30 carbine expander in a 357 body die. that's what I use for 300 blackout, and have been eyeballing using for 30/30.
Toolsteel, you've got me curious, as I have the Lee 3-die steel set (Lee #90769) that comes with the powder through expander die. I added a factory crimp die (#90086) to make the 4 dies because it wasn't offered in Lee's 4-die sets. Is that what you have?I would like to be able to load 7.62 x25 Tokarev on my Lee four hole turret press.The die set I have does not contain a powder through die.
What do I do ?Is there a universal .30 cal die? My press is equipped with a Lee auto disk powder measure.
I was wondering the something initially and then guessed he has a different brand of dies than Lee.Toolsteel, you've got me curious, as I have the Lee 3-die steel set (Lee #90769) that comes with the powder through expander die.

In reality that might be a good thing for you. Trying to find good light bullets in .308" is not easy. Your barrel is actually .32 Cal which provides you with a lot of choices.My set was a used Lee set ,but I have since rectified that by ordering a new Lee set from Midway.They actually got here yesterday so I loaded up a hundred Sierra 85 grain .Next I'll be trying to load for accuracy.My barrel slugs out to .312 so wish me luck on that.
It doesn't matter which gun you shoot from, heavier bullets will have a higher POI than lighter ones.Thanks for all the responses! Now that we're talking about Tokarevs (mine is a Yugo M57), does anybody know why they have a reputation for shooting low?I know my single action revolvers shoot lower with a lighter projectile and higher with a heavier projectile and I can understand why .Do you think this same phenomena occurs with the Tok?
