[QUOTE="GW Hunter, post: 1889641, member: 90347"] I guess the light bulb must have come on because I finally came out of the dark... I removed the carbide expander ball from my FL dies and purchased a Sinclair expander die with a neck turning mandrel sized .282" for my 28 caliber rifles. When I run a fired case through the FL die, the neck ends up at .304". When I make a pass through the expander it becomes .3065". The loaded round is .309", so neck tension is .0025". Which is perfectly fine for me. My question is would it pay to have the die honed to work the neck to less than .304"? If so, what would I want it sized to? Any response is appreciated. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
