[QUOTE="tkdgeek, post: 3278796, member: 42976"] Sorry, the Snattlerake description is pretty accurate. The expansion die does but a bit of flare at the top and I'm doing taper to try to get back to straight. If you look close, you can definitely see the brass expansion where the 45 has been pushed into it. With that in mind, the 45 is the only pistol I reload but all my rifle dies expand enough that the bullet can set without having to expand the bass to do so. The Hornady 45 seems to expand the end to let the bullet start and then the bullet finishes expanding the case as it is pushed in. I have a box of FMJ on order that would be the normal .451 but all of the plated are normally .452. I'm sure it has been that way since well before I was born so should not be an impact. Haven't made any in quite a while but I believe my 185 xtp did the same thing and they are good quality Hornady at .451 [/QUOTE]
