Folks, I made a pitch to Swede Nelson, thought I'd ask your comments, idea's, etc.
My idea is simple; I am enticing Swede to make a "caliber specific" insert for the Lee Universal (one fits all) Flaring Die, aka, an after-market "M" die upgrade.
[If you unscrew the Lee Universal Flaring Die, you will find two flaring inserts, one for small calibers, the other for larger calibers]
Here's my problem; when I try to flare any bottle-neck cartridge to seat cast bullets, the Lee die simply bells the case, or crushes one side of it. Most of my cast bullets get swaged, and/or deformed in the process. If Swede made a caliber specific insert (.22/.28/.30, etc) where the tool was made similar to the Lyman M die, a gradual flare, one could simply change inserts depending on what caliber he/she would need to "gradually" flare the case mouth and neck.
I'm trying to see if he would make and sell these in multiple caliber options to save money, depending on your needs.
What do you think?
