[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 1879740, member: 1521"] The Sinclair Expander (not turner) mandrel is a pretty good size. Best IMO would be right at cal diameter. What folks should be noticing and learning here is that without use of an expander -you're just forcing your bullets to do that function. That is if you leave higher than standard springback from cal interference, your seating bullet will just finish the expansion. So it doesn't buy you anything to to do that, much less doing it in extreme. As far as partial neck sizing -vs- FL neck sizing, unless for an underbore (like a 30br) FL sizing of necks is the worst thing reloaders have ever done. [/QUOTE]
