[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 132753, member: 3745"] You can take the expander/decapper out of a regular FL die. In order to decap, you can get a decapper die or use the expander/decapper from a smaller caliber die. You will just have to experiment and try this. You may have trouble because of too much neck tension since you are not expanding the neck back out to the size of the expander ball. Make sure you chamfer the inside of the case mouth real well and use boattail bullets. If there is too much neck tension you will feel with your press and that can cause runout as well. If the necks are too tight you can turn the necks to thin them down, or get a comp type die with neck sizing collets. I have used both types of dies with the process I described previously. The standard FL die works fine for me, but I am loading for a rifle with a tight neck and I turn the necks on my brass. A little experimentation on your part is in order, but hey, thats the fun part [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
