Lee expander, powder trough .30 M-1 carbine

[Pablo 5959]

I was thinking of using this http://leeprecision.com/pm-exp-plug-30m1.html
does anyone know what size the expander plug is?
It would be nice to expand and charge at the same time for .308W.
thanks

I have two, they both mic at .312. I read somewhere to do just what you are purposing but it didn't work for me used in conjuction with the rifle charging die, maybe I was doing something wrong. If you want one (pm your address) I'll gladly send you mine as I won't use them.

That is what I use for my .308's. All you have to do is drill out the body with a 1/2" drill bit. Just be a little careful guiding in the case to charge as the hole is a little too big for the case. Works really well.

Just order the complete powder charging die, it is easier.

Thank you very much Bzcraig.
I will take you up on that.
That is very kind of you.

I just linked the flare plug for clarity. I was planing on getting the whole die, if that's what you meant?
