Will measure mine (141) tomorrow, CRS today

My 141 1936 vintage is .3085 x .301, checked the bore with a bore rider at the muzzle, looks like some cleaning rod wear, so may be a litle tighter a little deeper down.

I have always used the correct loading dies when they are available.

Just seen this thread But I came across a Lyman All American 2 Die Rifle set 30/30 Winchester Deluxe. The set is new and the sizer die is marked Lyman 30/30FL and the P-A seating die is marked LYMAN PA 21 30/30 winchester: 30 remington. As well there is a number 467A stamped on top of the seating screw.
This die set is in a black box with blue velvet lining wrench and instructions with $15.00 stamped in gold script and in a cardboard sleeve.
Would this die set have been produced to reload both calibers?

The sizer is for 3030 Win only, the seater will work for both. The seater does not contact the shoulder so will work for both. I also have that set. YOu will need a 30Rem sizer if you wish to FL size a 30 REm as the shoulder angle is different.

This is 30/30 next to a 32 Rem with three 7x6.8 Rem SPCII . You will notice the very different shoulders between the Winchester and Rem .

Many thanks for the information.I was wondering what I had stumbled upon in My Dads reloading box.

Just to throw confusion in the Lee whack a mole circa 68-72 is labeled 32 Rem and in small print 32 Win special. Neck only dies are probably completely interchangeable. The 30 Rem has the same shoulder profile as the 32 and the 25 . I have come to think of them as 30/30 and 32 Win special AI with a Weatherby shoulder ,having gone out of production at least 20 years before either of them came on to the scene.

Excellent thread! I have a 141 with a tang peep site and also ~200 rounds assorted (old) factory jacketed bullets from different manufacturers that I will test once I install a missing screw which attaches the forend to the slide mechanism. Not sure of the threads yet but by chance does anyone have an extra screw?

If I'm not mistaken the 30-30 was originally loaded with a .307 bullet. I have some old boxed 30-30 jacketed 170 gr. Slugs marked .307.
