[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1459413, member: 39764"] You sure you are annealing the brass correctly? How about a picture of a case? As a rule, expander buttons all stay in their respective die boxes, I rarely use one. A fired round will already have an expanded neck that the die bushing makes smaller anyway. Why work brass twice when once is sufficient. The only time I'll expand a neck is if it's pre run brass (like Nosler new) and I want to size it with a bushing, then I'll just run the neck over the expander button and then go back with the NS bushing die to contract the neck to the resistance I want. I anneal all my brass with an Annealeze in a dark room and get the neck and shoulder jus to the point of a slight glow and thats it. Haven't spit a neck in years except for straightwall pistol cases in magnum flavor. [/QUOTE]
