Greetings to all from the great Republic of Texas!
I just loaded my first 50 rounds of .38 Special using my new RCBS Case Activated Powder Expander. I am loading 158gr round nose/flat point lead bullets.
I installed the expander per the instructions and the powder die is pretty much within a millimeter of the shell plate when the ram is at the top of the stroke. Problem is, it really doesn't "bell" the mouth of the case all that much. It does SOME, but not nearly enough when I start loading 148gr SWC.
Does anyone have experience in setting up these powder expanders that could pass on some tips and tricks?
Much obliged!
