[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 611179, member: 12"] Total BS! Brass expands to hit the chamber wall and then springs back. It does this every time you fire it except the the brass work hardens and the springback is less and less each time. 3-5 loadings and you will get heavy bolt lift (normally felt and a click). You will also get hard chambering which wipes the lube off the lugs and leads to galling and major repairs if you keep tryings that. Get a good FL die and change out the decapper to get rid of the expander. Use an expanding mandrel when needed. NS only leads to the same thing. You still have to size the body every 3-5 shots and the cases are varied in dimensions due to the springback variance. Most who urge NS only never use a good blade micrometer or they would see the variances. [/QUOTE]
