45 ACP Expander Die Pic Needed
« on: July 07, 2009, 08:42:32 pm »
I need to know if the expander screws into a die body like the 38 or if it is a 11/16-24 size that is turned down to .450

Actually, neither.

Attached is a picture of a full set of 45 ACP dies.  The expander is the second from the left.  It is installed in a hole in the tool head above the primer station.   The thread is 1/2-27
