I have a Dillon 550 and I bought RCBS 9mm 3 piece carbide dies.
1st die/step; Sizing and decapping. This sizes the brass and removes the old primer
2nd die/step; Powder
3rd die/step; Expander This one expands the top of the brass slightly so the bullet will sit on top
4th die step; Seat and crimp. This one seats the bullet to the correct depth and slightly crimps the case
My question has to do with steps 2 and 3. Could I switch step 2 and 3 around, use the expander at step 2 and then add powder at 3? For that matter why does it come with an expander anyway, couldnt the powder funnel expand the brass for the bullet to sit on?
Anyway thats all I have right now and until I find some primers its about as far as im going to get. Thanks!!!!
