Mixed cases in 30-30

[rjathon]

If one is using light loads- say 15-20gr 5744- in a 30-30 does it matter whether or not if you use a variety of cases vs sorted and separate?

Thank you

No. Faster powders make it even less necessary. ... felix

You need to trim them all to the same length as they vary quite a bit, otherwise you will be readjusting your crimp die if you load them in a tube magazine.

Properly trimmed, there won't be much difference. For a while, I was loading 400+ rounds of 30-30 ammo a month, about half of which involved light boolits. I sorted by which rifle fired the round, not head stamp. Testing revealed negligible differences at 50 yards between mixed and sorted head stamps. Since I was buying once fired brass off E-bay, that was a boon, because not having to sort brass headstamps made loading quicker.
