Lyman "M" Expander Die

[pontiac2m8]

For those that have the Lyman M Expander Die who may or may not know Lyman will sell you the pieces, over phone only, for different calibers. Much cheaper than buying the entire die. Below is everything I reload currently and since I already had the 223 die and 380/9mm expander die I just had to purchase 3 parts to be able expand what I reload, $30 plus shipping total. Hope this helps save someone some money so you can buy more components!

Per Lyman email:

1x 7123330 (30R plug)

I’m curious if they make a .243 and .257 expander, I don’t see them listed.

You can probably call and ask and they can give you the formula. Lol

If you can’t get the size expander for the M Die then you might consider using a Lee Universal Expander Die paired with a NOE Plug for exact size you want.
