100$ is mid road die prices.
I have a couple that were pushing the 200$ area 20 years back.
LEEE might even make you a size die for 20$ and you could get by with a 358 seat die.

i think it was around $80 for hornady 500 linebaugh dies and redding dies cost me $80-100 for the 20 vartarg.
i forgot about lee, i'll check.

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
As was said, you can probably open them up and seat with a 357 die set. Shoulder is going to be your issue. Fireform after expanding and then you might be in the money. But I'd get a proper die set in the end. You never know, start watching for a die set on Ebay.

I'm curious if you could reload 35-30 using .35 Remington dies. Not ideal but it might work? You could neck size them in a .358 Win die.

I'd want a LEE Collet Neck Sizer too, but you can make a longer one shorter within limits. I made a 300 BLK collet neck sizer from a 7.62x39 die. Not sure if there's a good cross for this, but it's intriguing enough a cartridge that I'd go to the trouble if I had a spare barrel (cheap enough).

Paul,
But we must remember that the venerable .32 Special started it all! ( not the 30 WCF)
Actually for cast bullets I would be happy with a .32 Spec.
For me the 32's are always accurate

What do you mean- the .32 Special started it all? It was the fifth cartridge chambered in the 94 Winchester. 32-40 and 38-55 were the first in 1894, the 25-35 and 30-30 in 1895, the .32 WS after that.
