Sigarmsp226 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Will at FW Arms is always looking for ways to make reloading better IMO. He is a SUPER great guy to talk with and stands behind his products. Has anyone ordered and tried one of these new 9mm Expander Dies yet? If so can you provide feedback if it works as well as Will describes in his description. My plan is to order one soon but currently my post Christmas funds prevents me from ordering one today. https://fwarms.com/shop/reloading/expanding-dies/f-w-arms-9mm-carbide-expander/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmer Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 That looks like it should be really slick (literally). I always liked the step, “M-die” type much better than the old funnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67isb Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 From the video, it was hard to tell if there is a step like a "M-die" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchuhmTi Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Hopefully they will make a .356" version for plated bullets to. All the M-dies and also the dillon swage hold down die are made for. 355" bullet diameter. The brass springback is so much that the plated bullets fall of the case.

Since he’s using a Berrys bullet in the demo video. I’d say that it’s probably good to go with plated bullets…. Ive used a M-die for pretty much every type of bullet. Once it’s set correctly I’ve never had any issue with bullets falling off, even at high speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously loaded many .356" bullets on Dillon presses, and all I ever used was the OEM MBF style powder funnel. Never had bullets falling regardless of speed............
