Thread: Fill length resizing not using expander button.

well squashed a case last night...eg made a doughnut...2nd time ever... did a far bit of looking,measuring and experimenting and came to conclusion,the expander ball on LEE RGB dies is rather long..like as in inch long and I probably had it too far back up into die...so the neck was enguaging both ball and die at same time...looking online at replacement expander stems,the shape has been changed.... I have a solution in mind...will CAREFULLY (put the jandle down DannyB) use the bench grinder and slim down half of the inch long expandy bit...then smoth it out nicely with fine sandpaper and drill..this SHOULD allow the neck to shrink nicely then expand GENTLY..... funny I actually have one of them flash collet neck expandythingymewhatsits in my random gear box
I did remove expander ball and resize some cases,then slowly slipped it into sized cases by re fitting it into die....
you fellas got me thinking about the whole idea.....
there MUST be merit in slightly expanding the internal diameter of FLR dies..to whackamole dimensions,that diameter has to be considered the happy meduim... would be interesting experiment to neck turn some brass then resize with whackamole .
