30 WCFSR

What does the "SR" stand for in 30 WCFSR ammo/reloading dies. I know 30 WCF is the same as 30-30, but am wondering if 30 WCFSR reloading dies will work for 30 WCF or 30-30. The reloader I am conserned with is an antique 1894 winchester reloading tool and am curious if the "SR" means a rimless case or something.
My apologies if this should have been posted under the reloading forum.

Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.
"I think this refers to the "short range" or small game load. Early Ideal Handbooks(see the reprint of #15 [ca. 1902] from Wolfe, pp. 29 and 101) listed several bullets in the 100 - 125 grain range for this purpose in the .30-30 Win. and Marlin, .303 Savage,etc. Similar loads were available from the factories in these and other calibers; also
lighter loads - often with round balls - for gallery and armory practice. These were,of course, interchangeable with standard loadings."
"I have Winchester "SR" tools and molds for 32-40 and 38-55 also. The bullets are light weight and probably used for plinking, varmint shooting or short range practice. I have never seen a 32 W.S. SR tool...has anyone else? Or, for that matter, a SR tool in any other caliber?"
