Just started loading for 300blk with cast. I've got some sized to .311 after powder coating. And I have just the normal expander in my RCBS SB dies.
The 30 cal M-Die I have for 30/30 is just too short. So I was reading and several people had milled the body down. Not a possibility for me. I found someone that said that he had used a couple of washers from rivets and that worked. Well no rivets handy. So looking around I found a pack of assorted O rings. Found a nice small fat one that worked just fine. I still have to pretty much bottom out the adjuster nut, but it does work now.
Would be nice if Lyman updated it to work in the 300blk. Wouldn't have to change that much. Just add a little more length to the adjuster or move the flare point down a bit on the end. Either would work. I'm pretty sure that die body is pretty much universal.
