Thread: Fill length resizing not using expander button.

I'd leave the button on imo.

MickeyD - i like the lee dies long expander, it works great and cleans shit out of the neck as you size the cases. Just dont have it too high up in the die or you'll crush the neck. As you now know

left is from a badly setup lee collet and middle is from the lee FL die with the expander rod too high up after i pulled it apart and reassembled to clean from new.

Good looking cases there. Haha…
