[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3092962, member: 15054"] I do not know of any cases you can use to make 30-30 that aren't more rare than the 30-30. For extended case life in any brass the key ingredient is to minimally work the brass. If your sizing die pushes the shoulder back 10 thousandths or 8 thousandths expect 8 reloads or so. This is based on .308 winchester cases and a thinner wall case will probably last less. You can double that if you push the shoulder back NONE or .001" I say None and this will work excellent as the case is not really fire formed completely to the chamber until about the 4th firing. So if None makes you think it will not chamber you could be mistaken. Not talking semi auto's here. You always get a little bit of "spring back" to a case after firing it. I began handloading and the round was 30-30 and I used this.

I then got a 308 and the same tool and then a 30-06 and again another Wack-A-Mole graced my Kitchen table. Wife got really tired of all the hammering and i scored 250 pieces of 30-06 brass..To my surprise the Lee tool would not make the cases correct to fit in my gun. I learned that that Lee classic loader which I swear was called Field loader when they came out in the mid 60's Is a neck sizer only. I never had a failed case with those.. but I did not keep track of hopw many times I loaded cases then either. I just loaded and shot them and with those cheap tools I was getting way better ammo than the store sold. Neck size to save cases or minimally size the case..You can Hone dies or have it done to match that particular gun. Light loads make cases last a long time also. My cases that do die do so from case head cracks. [/QUOTE]
