I'm sure the answer here is going to make me feel dumb, but...
I just bought my first bushing die. For 30 years I've been using standard FL dies. For the last several I have been using a mandrel expander to tune neck interface. That works fine, but I decided that eliminating a step was worth a shot.
Anyway, I ordered a forsters bushing die with 3 bushings.
Everything looks good except... the decapping stem has an expander ball on it.
Doesn't a fixed expander ball defeat the purpose of a bushing die?
What am I missing here?
