Credit for this goes to Hillbill. He gave me the idea.
My 30 is full form only and I hate removing the brake to load it. So I made a funnel to hold the bullet. I shot it 56 times and had to remove the brake 3 times because I missed alignment. Partly due to the bullet not being straight enough in the funnel. I made an alignment fixture to solve that. Drop the bullet in the fixture, insert the funnel and press on it, extract funnel and you are ready to load. Align the land groove in the bullet with a mark on your brake, insert lightly, finesse slightly until it is engaged in the rifling, press into barrel, twist to release.

I made a vacuum tool to load full form bullets thru my Hybrid. Not as fancy but works well.

Vacuum is another way to skin the cat. I have been using a funnel I made for powder as my smooth form starter in my 45's with a brake. Since building the 30, I needed something that would hold a full formed bullet well and could be also used as a starter jag. Bill mentioned it one day and I had some 416 laying around that I bought for plug making but got spoiled with the 17-4 so I used it to make this funnel and alignment jig. I realize that some other people have made similar funnels but in my findings, the 30 is a little more finicky about getting the bullet straight in the funnel. So, an alignment jig was in order.

I'm posting this because a couple people have asked in pm.
The vacuum tool is a battery acid tool available at any auto parts store. The black tube is just a small piece of 3/8" vacuum tubing. Sanded slightly on the OD to fit cleanly down the brake or silencer.
