Case neck flaring

[trapper9260]

I use the M die myself . But on some I just load the bullet. It all depends on the size bullet you load if it is a little bigger then some of your jacket bullet you will need to expand the case I found that out with some 44 cal bullets that was jacketed and they where just alittle bigger then the case sizen. So I expand the case . But for cast it is easyer to load them . Hope this helps.

A few things come to mind. One is taking out (if you already have one), or ordering the smaller size plug for the universal expanding die ($3) or have Lee custom make a Lee Loader type flaring tool ($8), if you are willing to compromise use the 35 cal expander found in the 38 special Lee Loader ($2) or you could have a local friend with a lathe or machine shop turn you the appropriate size flaring tool from a #8 bolt. Or if you want, chuck a #8 bolt of appropriate size in your drill press and use a file to radius the edge. Have a good one.

I used a 20 mm bullet for some time. I now have turned decaping/belling rods for my universal decaper. 1 for 30-06' and 1 for stepping 303 up to 450 "mongo"/410. I still need to do 1 up for the 32 Rem.
