    They seat better I find and they also seem to keep the bore cleaner at high speed. But I don't reckon the blast melts the bases. Not from the unchecked bullets I've recovered from the dirt anyway.

    Jhon liked post by Pommy On thread : Fill length resizing not using expander button.
    If you do not use an expander (or a mandrel), then you'll obviously leave the necks undersized. More or less depending on the brand of the die and thickness of the brass. You are not working the...
