I decided back aways to start reloading for 30-30. I have successfully loaded .308 and 30.06 in the past. I always trickled my charges previously. Since I wanted the 30-30 to be more fun I ordered dies and a universal charging die from Midway and Lee. Today I finished sizing, trimming and priming all my brass and went to set up the Lee 3 hole turret press with the dies I purchased.
Now here is the problem. As you can see below in the picture, (If this works you can thank Mal H for tutoring me) there is the standard piece to use if you were dipping or dumping a load, the die body and another piece they call the universal funnel. If you install this loading die into the turret, the only way for the shell casing to lift the powder measure is for the mouth of the case to push up on the small end and smash the mouth of the case. In any of my Dillon dies there is a belling insert that bells and actuates the powder measure. This thing from Lee is apparently just a fancy way to dump powder into anything from .2 up to cannon loads. As far as I can determine it is useless on a turret press.
Anybody want to help with this one?
