Where in Ohio are you?
Maybe I'm close enough to help.

I powder coat a Lyman 457191 to
bring it up to size. Use Smoke's
colored powders, not the clear.

Yes, case length matters, but not as much
as for the crimp die.
Forum: Cast Boolits
This boolit shoots well in my 03A3
with 16 grs 2400. Haven't spent
much time with it yet.
I use a Redding taper crimp die #85146
to solve this problem. I handload for 8
different 30-30's and this is one of the few
things they all agree on !!!

Well, friends, I settled on the Stihl e-z pull.
It is amazing easy to start and pairs well with
the canned gas I use in other equipment.
Now I'm on the same page as GONRA !

Thanks for the responses, friends.
The saws are Husqvarna. Going to look
at Stihl e-z pulls and electric, however
this is Amish country and I doubt our

I have a 30-30 carbine barrel on my Contender

My Henry SS (H015) really likes the Lyman 358429, a
170 gr SWC, powder coated and sized .3585, with

OK, I'm 5'8", 38 waist and a big beer belly.

I've tried nose sizing with the NOE gear - it works
but is a pita.
The fussy rifles get the NOE 127 gr RF or the
Lyman 3118 (311008). Work just fine here for
close range groundhog and other pest...
I'd try the LLA route first. If that's not satisfactory then
clean the factory lube off (as described on this site
in several places) and powder coat up to size.
