Resizng bullets to .30

I stared resizing mine with an old Lyman Lubrisizer, but relized it was putting quite a strain on it with the jacketed bullets. I bought a RCBS and it works much better. They are not very expensive from Midway or Graf & Sons.

I use the .311, then the .310, then the .309. They end up miking .3095, so there is a little "spring back" with the jacketed bullets. However, I have had good success with them.

The only reason I go .001 step at a time is just because I have the dies, you could probably go in .002 steps ok.

The only jacketed bullets that I'm resizing are the .312 60 gr Gold Dot and XTP, as there are 85 and 93 gr .308 jacketed softpoints available from Sierra and Hornady.

There are a couple of cast bullet makers that will cast lead 30 Luger bullets to your specs (dia, hardness and weight). If you want the website addresses, email me.
