[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2699849, member: 61747"] Gotcha. I think the standard RCBS and Redding dies are .5285, I'll have to measure again. Been awhile. I use the standard dies on hornady and the base comes in at .530. If I use the whidden it is .529- .5295 which is what a unfired case measures. So yeah I guess the solid does expand some now that I recall the measurements. My whidden is .5275 when looking at the spec I sent to John. Using imperial wax, a coax press, the little stubby short handle vs the standard long, it takes very little effort to size lapau to .530. I only have 2x reloads on the lapau tho. The adg is set aside for the other barrel as to not mix brass much. Was using hornady 1 shot wax but it's not as good as imperial. Probably toss it out. [/QUOTE]
