![]() ![]() I like Dillon as well(nicer primer feed/shielding), have a couple like most folks. I suspect that by reference to some Redding dies I have, that a 30 Luger rendition would be ok. Usually one can find some 30 Luger RCBS dies new for about 25-30 dollars retail by seaching the discount houses(midway, natchez, graf, etc) on the net. I just purchased a couple of 30 Luger RCBS reloading die sets of ebay for a little less than the Lee retail price a while back for other projects. In my own opinion, the RCBS is the better made of the two sets of dies I kinda like the RCBS method of neck control a little better as well as their internal finish. I have used both Lee and RCBS for reloading the 30 Luger. (My wife doesn't mind but I've known my 1920 a long time too. She is tuned like a champ with most of her old history replaced, in her younger days she needed a little TLC but we learned together and she is a lifelong friend. We have gone through a lot of rounds together and we have had some great times. A link to my "sweet, sweet shooter", I really like this gun! I always do a crimp in the last stage, it makes the round more accurate. 30 Luger after resizing/decapping and seating the primers by hand so I can go progressive for the final stages of assembly. ![]() I converted my Dillan 650 to work progressively with the. Luger bullets and your gun will enjoy the extra step after seating. Getting back to the dies, go with RCBS and buy another seating die to do a nice crimp on the last stage for progressive reloading. 308 and that might have been a factor with my 1920 commercial. Plated bullets with the same weight and powder charge are just not as accurate as the old Hornady rounds of which I still have 20 boxes. In their printed catalog they still list the lighter semi jacketed round nose soft point at, I think, 86g? But I don't have the printed catalog in front of me and have not tried that bullet in my gun. The hornady HP/XPT 90g (31000) never gives me the same performance as the 1440's (1.128 OAL) However, I think that has been replaced by Hornady with a lighter bullet head. The Hornady 93g #1440 was my bullet of choice with the "cantilever" (sp) groove in the bullet head, perfect for the OAL for the. There is no need to neck re-size pistol rounds and no one makes such a die, not the same animal as rifle bottle neck rounds. the Lee die is really bad, in my experience, it puts a bulge in the bottom of the case even when propery lubed with steel dies. ![]()
