Mike and all;
As a matter of course, with a new set of dies to be used with cast bullets, I take the expander out to the work shop for a bit of customizing. I chuck it into the drill and as it spins I hold progressively finer grits of emory cloth to it until I polish it out with crocus cloth.
I also drill out the seating stem to rest on the driving band of SWC, rather then the nose of the bullet.
These little tricks have worked for me and made life a bit simpler.
