.313 resizing
« on: August 05, 2011, 06:53:01 PM »
I have lucked into quite a few once fired 30-30 brass.  After looking around I have dug out some cast 32 flat nose, boxl says .313 dia. 118 grains on the box, lead.  Can the this lead be resized to a 30-30, .309 dia, in a Lee sizer. without tearing up my Lee Press, giving me a hernia, or winding up with some thing DANGEROUS to push through a winchester lever???  If this can work I am planing to push it with either 2400 or Trailboss and small rifle primers.  Hopefully I would use this for walk around and plinking. If necessary I can order 308 lead but would prefer using what I have, money is still tight

Hello, Hodr.  You'll be fine..your only talking .002" per side.  You might want to slug or make a cast of your rifles throat area..you might just be able to shoot them as is.  Are they lubed?  If not, you would want to do that before to ease sizing.
