Recently got a single shot rifle chambered in this. I now have dies, bought 50 rounds of new Starline brass and ran them through a sizer last night (this is the only Starline .30-30 brass I own hoping to avoid any mistaken identity), even fireformed one case, turned out good.
Not a lot of cast data for this one out there. This will be strictly for paper punching and since it's a single shot, no worries about bullet nose shape. Among the other dies I have a Redding neck sizer die and plan to use that once all brass is fireformed.
A few years ago, I impulse bought and fell in love with a 93 Mauser sporter in 7x57, so have several molds. The one I use the most is that "soup can" one Midsouth sold as a special run, but I have a few others. Seems like bullet weights for this one are all on the light to medium weight for 7mm bullets.
Any suggestions on where to start?
