Hello, wileynet.  Larry Gibson is right..I have an 1898 Krag rifle with a .310 groove..those checks are quite a bit oversized at mouth.
   Yes, seat g.c./size, then pan lube..I did this very thing when loading for that old Krag.

Use a Lee .314 push through die to seat the 30 cal. checks, then pan or dip lube.
