I load on occasion with a lee loader in the red and black box and I primarily use lead boolits. I have no issue per say with the factory bell punch, yet with the success I have had recently with m dies I wonder if a flare tool based on m die dimensions would be equally satisfactory with a lee loader?
I have access to a lathe and o1 tool steel so I feel a quality expander is within my ability to make if this is a good idea.
What is your thoughts on this?
