Here is the pest

[crow#2]

I will try to stop being such a pest.I will post a pic of these dies for my 30/30
Are these what I want? I believe they are carbide dies
Here's two sets I'm thinking thec4 die set is what want
Yes ,No

 

[arfmel]

AFAIK carbide dies are only made for non-bottleneck cartridges. You'll need case lube.

Either die set will be fine.

As noted,, 30-30 dies won't be carbide,, and will need lubing.

Thankyou

I have the red Lee set and they work well enough for me. It comes with the Lee Factory Crimp Die that I like for putting a good, firm crimp on the round since they're for my tube-fed Marlin 336.

Edited to add:
I don't think you'll need the 4-die set, as the 4th die is for if you want to only neck-size your brass after you've fired it in your rifle. Not suggested if you're loading for multiple rifles.

I highly recommend Imperial wax for lubing chores. Best thing I've found in nearly 50 years of reloading, and one little tin will last near forever.

Do you apply with lube old or fingers

 

[NikA]

I use a lube pad (basically an oversized ink stamp pad with no ink) and roll 5-8 cases across it at a time.

I've used a variety of non-reloading lubes including mink oil, ATF, and light grease for lubricating pistol slide rails. Never saw the need to purchase a lube specific to case sizing.

For the 30-30---I, too, use Imperial wax and apply lightly by fingers with very little on the case neck and none on the shoulder. Overdo it and you will dimply the shoulders.

I don't recommend roll crimping. It's very easy to crush the shoulder even if all brass is trimmed to the correct length. Use a taper/factory die for crimping.

Reloading the 30-30 is far from the easiest rifle cartridge to load. If you don't do things to a T you will soon learn.

Kind of like c the 32-29 I reloaded for. That's been well over 20 years ago. It's been that long since I've reloaded too.

+1 I've used it for a very long time.

Dillon case lube.
Put some brass in a small ziplock bag.
Give it a squirt or two of lube.
Shake, shake shake to distribute.
Wait a couple of minutes to dry.

Easy peasy.

Any type of lube will work for 30/30 just don't over apply as too much lube will cause shoulder dents especially in the thin 30/30 cases.

Hornady Unique, a little dab will do ya

Imperial wax is applied with fingers. Only takes a little, and I typically only need to apply lube to about every 3rd or 4th case. Also Imperial wax won't create case neck dents (unless you just got crazy with it). You can put a little on a Q-tip and lube an inside neck every 5 or 10 cases.

I use Imperial Wax for all my bottleneck cases. However the only time I have ever stuck a case was using Imperial, old age and stupidity will "get you every time". I'm NOT switching lube.

This is a good choice as is the Imperial.

If you get any on the shoulder you can simply wipe it off. The shoulder dents are caused by trapped air bubbles.

I've been using Hornady Unique with very good results. I had been wearing latex gloves and had problems holding onto the cases. Lately, my hands are so dry I decided to dispense with the gloves and don't drop as many cases. Can't say it helps my hands but don't have to bend over as much.
