[QUOTE="PddPdd, post: 2447011, member: 111799"] Not to take away from what ButterBean has already stated but here is another way to think about it... The bullet is the expander if the neck wasn't expanded by a die or a mandrel before seating the bullet. Try pulling a bullet from a loaded round and measure the neck ID with mandrels or something with equal accuracy. I think you'll find regardless of how undersized the neck was before seating your bullet, the neck will now measure about .001 to .003" under bullet diameter depending on how many firings the brass has seen since it's been annealed.
