[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2733469, member: 116181"] 99% sure these drop into a Sinclair, let me go check: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.pmatool.com/carbide-exp-neck-up-mandrels/[/URL] Edit: confirmed, PMA carbide mandrel drops into my Sinclair die. Their mandrels/die is supposed to be compatible with Sinclair and 21st Century. They're very nice, they'll do custom grinds in carbide which is a really nice option to have. I do like the PMA mandrel dies, they aren't expensive and lock the top of the stem in with a hex screw - I prefer that over the cap on my progressive press just because it's easier to stick a hex key in to make sure it's tight rather than grabbing the knurled top and trying to twist it around next to other dies. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.pmatool.com/expander-die-body-with-lock-ring/[/URL] 21st Century mandrels aren't carbine, but they come in 0.0005" increments if you need to get down to a very fine adjustment level. Also a great company to work with. I don't know anything that works with K+M other than their own mandrels, they screw in. I have a couple of their dies so I can use their matched expander mandrel/turning arbor sets with my neck turning tools. Great tools just seems like they're a closed ecosystem. [/QUOTE]
