So today I purchased everything necessary to reload .30 carbine (except a case trimmer) but I bought all new brass so shouldn't need it quite yet.
ANYWAYS...
I set up a dummy round with no primer or powder to make sure I have all of my dimensions correct here, I'll post some pics. (I read up on the data but point out if I have any errors)
Now I purchased the Lee 3 die set.. which doens't have a crimp, but I'm assuming that when the bullet is seated, the case tension is enough to keep the bullet in place??? I put alot of weight on the bullet and it didn't move in the case, so it felt pretty sturdy.
Also, I chambered this DUMMY round to ensure it went into battery, and ejected fine... No problems. So it seems as if I have everything in order, just need to get my powder down. I'm using h110 BTW.
So, let me know if anything stands out to you.. won't begin actual reloads till tomorrow. Also, let me in on some of your favorite loads with this powder.
I have Sierra 110 gr rn sp's.
Thanks guys
