I am new to casting and thinking about trying to cast for my 30-30.
Looking at the lee mold and bullet sizer die in .309. I see anything from .309 to .311 being used. So, as a first time caster using .309 for the mold, lee sizer, and gas checks in either 150, 160 or 170 FP does anyone see any problems or better way to start. I want to keep the expense under $80 and will be casting with wheel weight lead.
Thanks!
