This will be my first incursion into reloading and I would like a comprehensive instruction on reloading this cartridge. Where can I find it online or in print please?

Thank you in advance.

You can start with Sierra and Lyman reloading manuals.

Data can be found on each powder manufacturer's web sites. Finding instructions for reloading .30/30 cases specifically is going to be tough. Most instruction manuals are written generically. The instructions in the manuals listed above should be pretty easily followed. Basic reloading isn't rocket science. :)

If you are just interested in reloading for the 30-30 the little One Book / One Caliber - The Complete Reloading Manual for the .30/30 Wincheter is not a bad place to start. It has Hornady, Lyman, Nosler, Sierra and Speer data not to mention all the powder manufacturers in one little book. They are zerox pages but all the data is there. Some of it's not updated that often. It's about $7.00. You can order them from Bass Pro, Cabela's, Midway etc or find them at just about any place that carries loading supplies.

I like the Lee manual, Modern Reloading by Richard Lee. One of the best sayings around is a picture is worth a thousand words. Cabala's and Midway sell reloading vidios by RCBS that show you step by step how to reload.

All reloading falls into a few catagories, Straight wall cases such as pistol and revolver cases, bottle necked rifle case's such as your 30-30 case and 30-06 cases and shotshell cases.

All reloading for these cases is pretty much the same. Most bottle neck cases require two die sets, Most straight wall cases require three die sets and shotshells usually require a shotshell loader.

Basically once you have a fired case there are only a few steps to having a reloaded cartridge.

1. Punch the old primer out and resize the case.
2. Put in a new primer
3. Add powder
4. Put in a bullet

That's the simple story.

Try looking on Loadswap.com as well, follow this link to get to .30-30 loading data:
