So I'm weighing the possibility of buying an M1 carbine via an LGS. Seems like the price is good etc. However; I know I will want to reload for it and I'm having trouble even finding a set of dies on line.

First, is this cartridge called something other then .30 cal carbine?

Second, does anyone out there reload this? Is it hard to find the dies and the components? I've looked at lee and at midway, but am striking out. Help?

Live well, be safe
