Where to find a .311 expander ball for RCBS decap rod

[Alaska_Al]

I'm loading Oregon Trail 170 gr. cast that are .310" so I'd like a carbide ball that is .311 and that will fit my RCBS .30-06 die. Any ideas? Thanks.

Check the expander ball from a .303. Also RCBS sells different expanders.

yep rcbs.
most of the 31 expanders are more in the 3095-310 area.
you can always turn down a 32 cal expander too.

I`d be willing to bet that a call to RCBS customer service desk will have a free one headed your way very quickly.Robert

Okay, RCBS said I had to order a whole die to get .311 but I did and should be rolling soon! Thanks for the tips!

Another option would be to use the Lyman (or RCBS equivalent) M Die in 31 calibre.

Or a NOE expander.

I called RCBS and got what I needed.
