Custom M expander buttons

[saalfelder]

Is there anyone around that currently makes or sells custom diameter M style expander buttons for the Lyman expander die?

LatheSmith made me one and he is on the forum.

Not for the Lyman M die , but for the Lee Universal Neck Expanding Die ...NOE makes a custom insert with the M-die step for use in the Lee die body.
I got one for a 41 magnum .413 sized boolit and it works perfectly. Inexpensive too.
NOE has a lot of different diameters to choose from.

I saw NOE's, but I don't have the LEE die and I'd like to use my existing dues without adding another. I might get in touch with lathesmith.

The Lee Universal Neck expanding die can be bought for $15.00 and will bell case mouths from 22 cal to 45 cal . This die is handy all by itself. The custom NOE expander plug for is only $6.50 .
$21.50 for both with the ability to add custom M type plugs for $6.50 is not a bad deal.

I bought the lee die just to bell case necks with and it does that like a champ. The .413 mould I bought needed a .413 expander and I was tickled pink the NOE plug would do the job.

Forum member Deltaenterprizes made me one for a 41mag.
He could make you one to your specs.
