With a M-profile expander, I expand enough so that after a bullet is dropped/placed in the case mouth, I can invert the case and the bullet won't fall out. If I want to pull the bullet out, there is a "pop" as it breaks suction/adhesion.Was using Lyman M style expander.
I do this with both my coated and jacketed bullets in 9mm or .45ACP...I'm only shooting Hi-Tek coated bullets in my .38Spl
My 9mm coated bullets are from BBI and Federal. My .45ACP bullets are from Brazos. My .38Spl bullets are from BBI, B&B, and Bayou
