I use an M die to expand the necks of my 30-30 casings when loading cast, and I've done it even when loading jacketed bullets. Would there be any benefit to not using an expander button? I could get a spare and sand it smaller so it wouldn't expand the neck but would still open up an occasional squashed neck.
In the research I've done I've seen someone doing it this way, but is there any benefit?
Thanks for the info, Bazoo.
