Need help with .30 bullet selection

[Karl]

Curl,

I will be most interested in your results. I am curious about how much harder the plated bullets are compared to lead and whether .312 is appropriate for a plated bullet. As for flaring the case mouth, I just ordered a Lee Universal Case Expanding Die, on sale at Midway for about $10. I will report on whether it works for .30 Luger.
