I shoot cast in my Marlin .30-30s and have had pretty good success.
Now I'm ready to try to take it to the next level. I'm currently using a .310 expander ball in my Lee .30-30 decapping/resizing die and am having to anneal quite often as the die sizes down to .308 and the ball works the brass back out to just under .310. This is still a little tight for my cast boolits as they are normally around .3115.
My question: I think the Lyman Neck Expander M Die 31 Caliber Long is for .303 British and that the die body is too long. Should I buy a 30 M short die and get a 31 M expander (not been able to find just the expanders for the M dies in the catalog... could be just my eyes not working or brain failure) or should I buy a 31 M and have the die body cut down to a usable length.
Thanks for the help in advance,
Greg.
