I just purchased a 30 30 and the reloading components. As stated, I'm using the hornandy 160gr ftx. Being a tube fed it's my understanding crimping the bullet is recommended. I was having trouble dialing in the crimp with rcbs roll crimp but I believe I have got it now. I think my trim on the inside of the case mouth was too deep and causing my crimp to not hold the bullet firmly. Visually I could see the crimp but when pushing down the bullet would move roughly .020 from original spot. The bullet is still in the crimping groove but is it still safe? I didn't cut the inside of the case mouth much at all and now the crimp seems to be holding firmly. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? Also if anyone has factory 30 30 leverevolution what is there ocl?
