Where would I get an expander to open the neck of a 38-55 case to a desired ID? Not just the mouth but the length of the neck. Don't need it that long. Just want to make sure I am communicating the correct need. I am using RCBS dies for the 38-55 and I am loading cast bullets. I will continue to search but if anybody knows where I can get one please post here.

One can be turned from an allen head bolt to exactly what you want. Or they can be made from scratch easy enough. I have peened them up working slow and carefully also. Check Buffalo arms, Trac of the wolf, NOE, and accurate for expanders also

Track of the Wolf has cheap plugs to fit the Lee Expander die. If you have to buy an Expander die body get one for a 45-70 so it will also fit larger cases.
