[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1214344, member: 28965"] Any die with this design type can have the expander spindle locked down off center not just Redding. Remove the expander spindle assembly and chuck the upper section in a drill. Then slowly spin the spindle and see where the wobble is coming from. You can place a small rubber o-ring under the lock nut and allow it to float like a Forster spindle assembly. Both Redding and Lyman sell replacement carbide expander assemblies. I was never a big fan a Reddings oblong expanders and their extra drag in the case neck. During die setup leave the lock nut loose on the spindle and on the down stroke of the ram as the expander enters the case neck and "centers" tighten the lock nut. Or just buy Forster dies with the high mounted floating expander that produce cases with the least neck runout. :D [/QUOTE]
