I really prefer the design of the Hornady expanders and their die lock rings (vs. the RCBS ones), like the LEE FCD's, use a dedicated LEE decapper (mounted in an old RCBS Jr. press) to help best keep my various sizing dies clean and undamaged...

With a Lock-N-Load bushing installed in my LEE Classic Cast Press I too notice that the LEE die bodies are pretty short, especially the expanders, but once set they seem to work OK.

My latest OCD effort is to check weigh (on a small digital scale) each completed round before they go into a container: no more exposure to a possible "primer only" mistake. A couple grains (or tenths?) either way should ring a bell or two...? Do sorted empty cases from the same manufacturer even vary that much?
