The .30 Carbine isn't a straight wall case, it's a tapered case. Using a carbide sizing die is what's causing that ring. Nothing wrong with it, kind of like using a small base die, but it will shorten your case life. As for powder, H-110/Win 296 is the way to go. Those two are the same exact powder so load data is interchangable. Go with the 110 FMJ bullet for general shooting. Speer's 110 grain hollowpoint is great for small game and has the same outside profile as the FMJ and feeds great.

The dummy rounds I made chambered and ejected fine.  I will go ahead and test some loads this weekend, weather permitting.

I tested about 50 rounds of reloads and they worked very well.  No issues with feeding or ejecting.  One thing I noticed on the instructions for the carbide .30 carbine dies is that even though they are carbide dies, they recommend using lube on every fifth brass casing when resizing.

Outstanding!
I have a carbon steel die, so I *have* to lube the cases. I will run them through the tumbler again after resizing to get any remaining lube residue off before priming.

Old thread. But I was reading it and wondering how things turned out. ?What was the source of all the brass.

I was struck by the observation that the ring was only partially around the case. I have seen cases with some dies that show a small "bulge" at the base, but it is generally all the way around, AND the case passed a case checking die (I use them regularly, based on old experience with Super reloading for IPSC. Kept you from having feeding problems).

ANYWAY, the thought occurred to me that perhaps the chamber was unsupported at the feed ramp area, allowing for a little case bulging. ?Maybe.
