size the case full length as you normally would , pull the brass out until its gets freed from the neck squeezing portion of the die , bring the ram down just until you feel it wanting to start sizing the outside of the neck again, then, adjust the expander up until it either touches the brass or stops ((if your die stops first it will not do this function)) . if , you can touch the brass pull the brass out and lift your expander up just a little more (( you decide )) . essentially, overlapping the 2 sizing functions of the same die.

annealing before this operation will really reduce the felt resistance ,

you will stop feeling that area in the middle of the sizing operation where the brass isnt touching anything
Also, on some brands of dies, (Forster is one) The expander height is independent of the decapper. The expander is simply a button on the threaded rod the decapper attaches to. Allows you to set the expander just under the shoulder and size, decap and expand in one operation. I still prefer to use a mandrel die to expand and remove the button, or use a smaller one if using something like RCBS dies, so the expander doesn't touch the inside of the necks.
