Question: I need to find an easy way to flare the case mouth on these little buggers. I have an RCBS 2 die set. I'm chamfering the mouths, but bullets would seat a little easier with a flare. Has anybody come up with a method short of buying a Lyman "M" die?

Cpt. Curl:

I called Hornady with the same question, about two years ago, and they sold me a .32acp expander die. The expander itself looks like an acorn, but works just great for .311 to .313 bullets in the 7.65 Parabellum.
