Just tried dry tumble HFPC red. They turned out great. I was thinking as hard as this stuff is why would you have to expand case mouth especially with the Lee 230 Blackout bullet with the boattail that I did today. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I do even with GC'd. If the mouth is chamfered it may be OK for BT. PC is tough but will peel off down to lead.

I've never expanded the case mouth for jacketed bullets.

Why would you????

To prevent scratches on the bullets. Helps with tight case mouths also. I don't most times on jbulls.
