[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1581289, member: 28965"] Whidden custom dies sells expander kits with 5 expanders from bullet diameter to .004 under bullet diameter. Meaning you can increase bullet grip with a smaller expander and not crimp the bullet. Example below, many AR15 shooters use the Lyman type "M" expander with .003 bullet grip. The case mouth is bumped onto the .226 section to aid straight inline bullet seating. And "IF" needed a very slight taper crimp can be applied to the case mouth. I also use the same method with my 30-30 reloads with a slight taper crimp. NOTE, RCBS AR-Series dies are taper crimp dies and used to streamline the case mouth for feeding [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/ohIUcpd.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
