Expander mandrel suggestions?

Or, the domestic alternative, as stated in an earlier post in this thread, PORTER PRECISION. They really have more and better solutions.

Unfortunately, those are plain steel pins, not carbide.

“Gage Pins are used to measure the size of a bored hole. They come in a variety of sizes and classes. We provide class ZZ Gage Pins that are sized .0005″ apart and are accurate to .0002″. The pins we source are made from a Carbon Chrome Alloy Steel (grade 52100 bearing quality steel) and heat treated to a 60-62 Rockwell C hardness. We choose this class as a good balance between availability, and size selection. Despite the hardness and polish, some form of lube will be required; graphite or a lanolin based wax manufactured for use with reloading supplies is recommended. Petroleum based products will kill powder and primers.”
