Hi Gang
I've been reloading cast boolits in my handguns and 45-70 single shot rifle for years with great success. I am beginning to enter the realm of cast boolit reloading in bottle neck cartridges. Specifically, 9.5x57 Mannlicher. I purchased a Lee Universal Expander to flair the mouth enough to just accept the boolit. I know that neck tension is what will maintain boolit position and therefore crimping isn't necessary. What is the easiest way to reduce the flair after the boolit is seated? Can the completed cartridge be lightly raised into the sizing die or is that a big No No?
Thanks in advance.
