Description
Expanding the case neck is an important step in the neck turning process, but many reloaders are finding case neck expanding equally important even if not neck turning. Running new brass over an expanding mandrel as a part of your case prep routine is always a good idea. This step irons out any dings, prepares the case mouth for deburring and uniforms neck tension.

Expander Die Body is Great
The expander works good, easy to change mandrel, fit the mandrel I bought with it perfect.

Expander Die Body that's easy to use and works great
Simple and does the job great, bought the 22 to 6 mm expander mandrel to use it with. Both fit together perfect and made expanding before turning smooth. Easy to remove or change the mandrel.

Getting good concentricity
I am using this in conjunction with the carbide expander die, and it substanially improved the concenticity of the 220 brass that I expand for neck turning

PMA quality as always
Fit and finish are excellent as with all pma products. This is my second expander body and am very happy with it. Fits the expander also by pma well and expanded cases have minimal runout.

Neck expander die.
This expander die and mandrel is the second set i have ordered from pma. They will not be the last ones I order. Simple, fast set up, well made. Its easier to use this die and mandrel set up in an extra step than using the neck sizer inside my resizing die. This is my experience and opinion.

Expander mandrel
Prepped the brass perfectly for turning

Expander die body.
Once I figured it out it was a hex head bolt that holds the expander mandrels in it worked as advertised. On the recommendation of PMA I kept the hex bolt slightly loose to allow a little bit of free float for the mandrel. Did exactly what was supposed to do.

Expander Die Body
I shoot a 22 Waldog and 6 Talldog, neither of which are very darn tall! This expander die works very well with these shorter cases and my PPC. I have several expander dies and this one stays with my short range brass prep kit.
