Hi,

I reload pistol round for some years, so I am not a new for reloading.

But... I will start to reload 30-30 for 336 lever action, still need some confirmations, here is result of my search:

Material needs:

Lee deluxe rifle sezing die set
Chamfer tool
primer pocket cleaner
case length gauge
cutter & ball grip (trim tool)
hand prime tool with shell holder
case lube

powder imr4895
bullet Winchester or Frontier 150gr
new Winchester 30-30 brass
Winchester WLR rifle primer

rifle cleaning kit

Do I missing something?

Your recommandation for powder, bullet, case lube, load data and cleaning kit are very welcome.

As I reload for lever action, do I need pay attention during reloading?

Thanks

"...do have a scale..." Figured you did as it dawned on me that you're not exactly new to reloading.
"...do I need pay attention during reloading?.." Yep. OAL length(both the cases and the loaded round), bullet shape and crimping. Lever actions need a bit of crimp to keep the bullet in place in the mag under recoil. And, of course, no Spitzers or any other bullet that places the point on the primers in the mag.
 
Trim your cases to the same length each time,otherwise,when you crimp,the longer cases will crumple,sometimes badly enough that they will not chamber.30-30 brass seems particularly soft and susceptible to this problem.
