Lyman .283 Expander Button
The Lyman Deluxe Neck Size Die with Carbide Expander Button allows you to resize your neck without using any lubricant within your neck. Only the cartridge neck is resized by the die body, which is constructed of finely machined hardened steel. When compared to full length sizing, this leaves the rest of the case the precise size of the chamber it was shot in, extending the life of the brass. A free-floating carbide sizing button that self-centers in the case neck is included in the expander assembly. Because the carbide button is extremely hard and smooth, it can easily slide through the case neck, creating less case strain than traditional sizing buttons, resulting in longer case life and less case trimming.
Lyman's expander/decapping systems use a smooth expander button to make neck expansion easier. Its deluxe carbide system uses a free-floating button that can self-centre in the case neck and can be positioned at different heights.
