Any one used a Lyman M neck expander die?
When I put together my die set for thec25-20 a Lyman M-neck expander die was recommended because of the frailness of the case. Expander the next and bells the mouth.
Works so well I ordered a die for 30-30.

I use an "M" die for some of my cases.

Works fine with 30-30, but I wouldn't suggest using it with a completely progressive reloader like a Dillon...Using Dillon, I size/prime and then run the case up the M Die and "feel" how it sets in the die..I then use a RCBS Uniflo powder measure for the powder, THEN, I set the bullet with an RCBS Rock Chucker...sounds laborious, but I'm not interested in how fast I make ammo, but how close the holes are at extended ranges (PAST 100 YDS.).

I only have a Hornady Lock-n-load single classic press .
So I plan to use the universal de capper, then after cleaning, size the case, with the neck expander mandrill removed.
Then prime and run the case through the M-die in one operation. Then charge the cases and, Seat the bullet, then a Lee Factory Crimp.
