Description

Expanding the case neck is an important step in the neck turning process, but many reloaders are finding case neck expanding equally important even if not neck turning. Running new brass over an expanding mandrel as a part of your case prep routine is always a good idea. This step irons out any dings, prepares the case mouth for deburring and uniforms neck tension.

Our Expander Die Body is as simple as they come. Drop the Expander Mandrel in the top, secure it with a set screw and you're ready to go. The set screw in the top allows the user to choose to free-float the mandrel or to lock it tightly in place.
 
Utilizes 3/8" shank expander mandrels from PMA Tool, 21st Century Shooting and Sinclair International.
 
Includes Lock Ring.

    Expander die body.

    Once I figured it out it was a hex head bolt that holds the expander mandrels in it worked as advertised. On the recommendation of PMA I kept the hex bolt slightly loose to allow a little bit of free float for the mandrel. Did exactly what was supposed to do.

    I shoot a 22 Waldog and 6 Talldog, neither of which are very darn tall! This expander die works very well with these shorter cases and my PPC. I have several expander dies and this one stays with my short range brass prep kit.

    I purchased this so I wouldn't have to switch body from 308 to 6.5 set-ups on a progressive press. Work great!

    This tool has clean and exact machining. It is well made and fits my Bonanza press nicely.

    In addition to a PPC, I shoot a Waldog, and a Talldog, and neither are very tall.! This die body combined with the PMA mandrels works perfectly on these short cases.
