I just received a long Lyman M die for my new .358 winchester which will be finished in a week or two.
I placed it side by side with my M 30 cal Long expander.
The bodies have identical ID and OD dimensions and the spindles holding the expander plug are the same.
Next time I need an expander die, I will just order the expander plug from Lyman and install it on the body and spindle that I now have two of(identical twins). Actually, I may order custom made from a member here on the forum.
Because it was on close out at Midway, I also ordered an RCBS Neck expander and die body for .358 WCF. After I use each the Lyman and RCBC for a spell, I will report back on the differences and any advantages one has over the other.
