Can someone confirm that the decapping(expander) pin in a RCBS FL .308 die is .311? Want to make sure before I buy the die.

I need one for another project I'm doing and someone recommended this die because the expander measures .311.

Thanks for any help

Mine is .308". After springback the neck ID is usually .305" - .306".

The RCBS 7.62 X 39 two die set has both the .308 and .311. I don't think you'll find a standard two die 308 Win set with a .311 expander.

That's fine, 7.62 x 39 will work also... Thanks 1 hole and Walt for the input!

Hey, I did a little research. RCBS has a .310 expander/decapping unit #09814 that can be purchased seperately. Check it out.

RCBS makes a dedicated, expander-only die for cast boolits using a generic die body and a selection of spuds you screw onto an all-thread bolt. Don't confuse this with the standard, button-type decapping/expanding die or the FL die.

BTW, the RCBS expander I have for .308 measures .3075".

If I remember right my 7.62x54r RCBS die set came with the 308 and 311 buttons
