    T.j.76

    I'm loading cast boolits in my 300 B/O (160 & 180 grains) and my 6.8 SPC (100 grain) How do I bell the case mouth, so I don't shave lead? Boolits will be powder coated (hi-tek).

    Welcome to Cast Boolits. You can use a Lee universal expander or a Lyman M expander. I use the NOE expanders

    As I need only 1 body and can get custom size expanders for any caliber I need.

    First number is the bell size the second is the boolit diameter. Just be careful so that you start the bell just enough to put a bell on it. If you go too far it will stick and you will pull the rim off the case.
