Just tried dry tumble HFPC red. They turned out great. I was thinking as hard as this stuff is why would you have to expand case mouth especially with the Lee 230 Blackout bullet with the boattail that I did today. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I do even with GC'd. If the mouth is chamfered it may be OK for BT. PC is tough but will peel off down to lead.
Whatever!
Yes even with J words.
Yes, it peeled off w/o belling.
I've never expanded the case mouth for jacketed bullets.Originally Posted by Garyshome
Why would you????
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:7
To prevent scratches on the bullets. Helps with tight case mouths also. I don't most times on jbulls.
