[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1524337, member: 10755"] There’s a problem with NOT using the expander, if your die squeezes the neck .008” smaller than bullet diameter, what’s going to bring it to .002” under the bullet diameter for good neck tension? I have used every tool there is to reload ammo, neck only dies, FL dies, neck only bushing dies, FL bushing dies and in-line dies etc, etc. Any die that does minimum sizing in ANY direction, including the neck is best. I find my best concentricity is made using Forster honed neck FL Bushing dies with the expander installed and lubed with very finely ground graphite powder. The die neck only moves the neck .003”, the expander opens it .001” and is perfectly at .002” under bullet diameter. Forster dies are very inexpensive and they will hone to the size you want. Cheers.
