[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1777656, member: 92702"] I don't use the carbide. Really don't get the advantage since they need lube too. I also use the turning mandrel. .001 smaller than the expanding mandrel. You don't need a decap die. If your die has an expander ball like Forster, remove it. If the expander holds the decap pin just steal an undersize one from another die set or buy an undersize one. In your case anything from .257 or smaller will work fine. I have found this to be worth the trouble. I use Hornady one shot for lube. Hold the can at about a 30 deg angle and lightly spray the case mouths in a loading block. [/QUOTE]
