I have the Lee powder thru die and Lee auto disc powder measure(old one) to load .380 ACP
The jacketed bullets measure .355 and the expander measures .355(Used Micrometer)
The expander is too big for these FMJ's(No neck tension) If I back the die out to leave no flare the powder measure won't activate the disc far enough to drop the charge reliably. If I remove material from the expander it will probably be too small for powder coated cast boolits.
Is there a way to raise the powder die and not oversize the case mouth and still activate the auto disc for its full travel? I use this same setup for 9mm and .45 ACP with no issues.
