Anyone using the Mighty Armory expander die? I usually use a ptx through expander on my powder thrower to expand.
 
No. Never heard of it. Have no issues with the powder-through expanders from Hornady, Lee, or Dillon, so would have no reason to look for something else to spend money on.
Folks only have "sticky" expander plugs because they removed the natural dry lube (soot) that the case neck once had to prevent the neck from sticking. Leave the dry lube in your case neck and save money.
I had a sticky expander once. Tore down the Lee PTE and found the expander to be very roughly machined. Called Lee and got a new expander for free and that was that. No issue since.
PS: After almost 50 years, I also never have had any issue with bottleneck cases sticking in the die (RCBS case lube and case lube pad score 100% so far) and never had any issue with the expander plug coming out of a non-lubed case neck. I swear I think a lot of folks simply LOOK for problems.
