[QUOTE="Winchester 69, post: 364243, member: 8037"] For those interested in opening their FL sizer up some to minimize brass working, Forster offers for their dies a service at a nominal price of honing the die to your spec. Shipping runs the price up a bit, but you get a precision job without expending hours on a less precise process. I don't believe it's been brought up here, but the other contention with an expander is the possibility of misaligning the brass' neck because of expander misalignment. Using a floating design is one approach. Another is to introduce some compliance in the stem. Some simply loosen the stem in the die. I use a fat O-ring under the adjusting nut on my sizers that holds adjustment while allowing the case neck to center the expander button being drawn through it. [/QUOTE]
