[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1017050"] AFAIK that is correct for lead only. Get the [url]http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=lee+universal+neck+expanding+die&sprefix=lee+universal+%2Caps%2C238[/url] and flare only until it doesn't shave lead off. You will need to make sure you run your seating die down to the crimp or use a separate crimp die to close up the flare. I load solid lead this way for 30-30, 30-06, 7.62x54R and 8mm-Mauser. So much CHEAP fun plinking. Projectile $.05, powder $.05, primer $.05. Cost of brass ZERO range pick up that will last forever. Cost of wear on the bore ZERO (well almost). Price of high quality 22LR $.18. So it can be cheaper than practicing with a 22. We (the guys I load for) routinely reach steel 18" plate at 400 yards with these. 90% hits are quite possible.
