After double checking several of my M-dies, it can be done but you are at the far limit of the die's capability
I suspect for the 22 Hornet version they use a longer expander "holder" for lack of...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yes. M dies just come in short and long die bodies with the appropriate caliber specific mandrel. So a M die that came in a 223 set would be the same die for a 22 Hornet.

As to what data to use? The data from the 49th. Why, I'd say because they actually retested loads for that particular combination and probably measured the max pressure in psi rather than using the...

Did and still do. Lyman or Saeco style.
Pretty sure they mean drift as in use a brass punch to drift the sight left or right after loosing the center Allen screw. Tighten the screw back up when it's where you want the sight to be.

In my limited experience, reasonably prompt. Ordered a variety of 9mm and 45 SD ammo on a Wednesday on-line and the shipment was picked up by UPS on Friday afternoon.
Think the Lee FCD for the 32-20 is their rifle style that is actuated when the die touches the shell holder so a shorter case wouldn't be touched most likely without removing some of the bottom of...
