Re: 30 WCF downloaded to 32-20?
I got a box of 115 grain cast plain based bullets sized for the 32/20 and ran them through a Lee .310 sizer. Then I loaded them with 7 grains of Unique. They shoot great. Lots of fun.

Re: Thinkig about a progressive
I reload a fair amount of .38/357, 44 magnum, 45 Colt and 45 ACP. I have had the Dillon 550 for many years and I love it.
I have settled on one powder for everything and swapping calibers is pretty quick.

Re: What to do with a Marlin 336
I have never found the 30/30 lacking, but I do reload with Barnes TSX bullets and it takes the old 30/30 to a new level.
That is a heck of a bullet.

I have used it in .35 Remington. With suggested max load and 200 grain Hornady it went into one ragged hole.
So far I am impressed. I plan to try it in a .32 WS and 30/30 also.

Re: 284 Win
the .284 is a dandy cartridge. I suspect that for the cost of a few boxes of factory you could set-up to reload your own. IF Lee ever made the Lee Loader in that caliber it would be the ticket for cheap/low volume reloading, IMO.
