Flaring a case neck for cast boolits
I'm having trouble hand loading cast boolits for my 357 magnum. I'm using a Lee Pistol die set. In setting the case expander die deep enough to easily start my cast boolits the die seems to expand the entire case neck too much. There isn't much case neck tension left after seating the boolit. If I back off the expander die so there is proper neck tension I can't start a cast boolit.
I see that Lee sells a universal neck expanding die made and sold for seating cast boolits. Will this die (or one by another manufacturer) flare the case mouth instead of expanding the case neck? I'm looking for a die that will flare out the mouth of the case. What do you all use to enlarge the case mouth enough to start the base of the boolit? JJ
