I have quite a number of 30 caliber, and some .223 and .243 flat base jacketed bullets to load up. As you know, flat base bullets can be hard, (a PITA), to get started in the seating operation. NOE sells two step expander mandrels for seating bullets cast in their molds. How would it be to use those for seating flat base jacketed bullets??
Let's take 30 cal for example. Get an expander mandrel sized .306/.308. Then set it up so that the top say, .020" of the neck is sized to .308, allowing for an easy start when seating flat base jacketed bullets? Any problems with this idea?
Thanks!
