For some reason I'm having a hard time visualizing this. Can you explain further?

What he means is remove the expander ball for the sizing operation, then install and push the sized neck over the expander ball. Pushing instead of pulling over the ball can reduce runout but it is an extra step.

Thank you, you explained it the way I should have.

I feel like I shouldn't have to ask, being a reloader for 25+ years, but how does doing this in 2 steps with the same die rather than in one step with said die, end up in improved ammo? Am I missing something? 🤔


I too could use additional explanation. Does the metal sizing of the case body work against that of the neck if done in one step? In either case, the expander ball has to go both in, and out, and would size on the in stroke, then maybe modify this on the outstroke in one-step, but not on 2 step?
