The case is so close in size to the 30-30 Winchester, that you can use the 30-30 dies.  I have done that in the past and they work fine.   Ot exact but close.

Not really - the body taper and shoulder is different.
Don't ask me how I know this......

The old Lee die sets in the round plastic containers for .30-30 also said .30 Rem on them. There's a used Lee Collet die set on the shelf locally if interested...

Please stop with this nonsense that 30 Rem can be reloaded with 30-30 Win dies. Yes, you can use the seating die, but that's it!

Look up the length to shoulder dimension.

You will get head separations - I've seen it myself.

OP  I'll send you a PM.

Why would you size more than the neck?

Because I'm forming brass from another caliber.

Should've said that in the beginning. I was ready to chime in also about using .30-30 dies to load .30 Remingtons, as I did so for two rifles in the past, by neck sizing existing brass.

Mentioning the 35 took me back. 50 or so years ago my friend, the manager of a sporting goods store gun department, saw me looking at a 141 Remington pump in the rack. He asked if I liked it and when I said yes he disappeared into the room where they kept guns that had been left for repairs and never picked up. He came out with an armload of Remington 14s, a 25 and a 30 rifle and a 30 carbine and said "give me $45". That was easy. I traded off the two rifles and kept the carbine which I really liked. I worked up loads for it and enjoyed it. A couple of years later my hunting buddy also fell for it and made me sell it to him. I did on the condition that I had dibs if he ever wanted to get rid of it. Eventually he did and I got it back. What happened after that I don't remember but I do remember at some point getting a cherry 141 in 35 Remington, now departed. How I loaded for it and the 30 I don't remember. I guess I'll have to do some digging and see if I have some dies but I can't count on it.

But does it work?  Mine did not, no matter what we tried.  It would go bang, fire once and not eject the empty.
