Finally heeding the advice posted here by better casters than myself, I decided to get larger expander plugs for my 30-30 Lyman M expander, .308 Redding neck sizing die(bought used for $10, and RCBS 30-06.
I called Redding, explained what I needed and was told to watch my mail. How much? Don't worry about it. Two days later I get the .310 expander for my Redding neck sizer.
I called RCBS, explained to a knowledgable rep what I needed. He said he would send it out, no charge. A week later, I get two complete spindle assemblies with .310 expanders installed and extra decapping pins. Free. I will install one in my 30-30 dies and one in 30-06. If need by I can polish a thou or two off if need be.
I called Lyman, sat on hold for over 20 minutes listening to music that was garbled. Finally I get a rep. She told me to go on the site and order what I needed. After prodding her, she finally told me what I needed and that it was almost five bucks plus shipping.
I am generally considered slow, but I think I got a message here. From now on it will be Green, RCBS, or if I have enough green, Redding. When I think about it, I may take out all my Lyman gear and spraypaint it green.
