Thread: Fill length resizing not using expander button.

So why doesnt a man just leave well enough alone?
Well you blokes got me thinkin as well. This custom thing of mine is really fussy in the chamber (bit like the old girl used to be), so I FL resized like I usually do in my RCBS die but removed the expander ball spindle. Then ran 2 case necks up into my 6.5 Hornady die, and then another 2 into my RCBS die, and 2 into an old Lee die, all with the expander ball back in.
Clean the inside of the neck and chamfer the mouth in and out. Seated the same projectiles and a noticeable difference in neck tension, with the old Lee expanded cases chambered beautifully. The RCBS and Hornady not so easy.
Will it kill the next animal deader than dead, probably not.
