[QUOTE="bigedp51, post: 1885607, member: 28965"] Another vote for the Lyman type "M" expander, you just bump the case mouth onto the second step. After brass spring back the case mouth will be approximately .001 larger than bullet diameter. This helps after wet tumbling even when using a VLD deburring tool. Meaning the case mouth will not scratch the bullets and cause the small brass flakes. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ohIUcpd.png[/img] That being said I bought a sonic cleaner to clean my brass and prevent case mouth peening and eliminate the brass flakes. Below a .44 Special case after wet tumbling and you can see the dents and dings on the case mouth. And when these cases were expanded I would get fine brass flakes inside the case and on the expander. Bottom line I got tired of having to trim and deburr the cases after each wet tumbling to prevent the brass flakes. [img]https://i.imgur.com/EYdJ5Ye.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
