Product Description

The Mighty Armory Flare Expander Die is an essential reloading tool designed to flare an expand the case when reloading 9mm.

This reloading die achieves two critical tasks when reloading ammunition. First, it flares the inside of the case mouth to facilitate smooth bullet seating and second, it precisely expands the inside dimension (I.D.) of the case to -.003 to-.004 below bullet diameter just below the flare. 

The Mighty Armory 9mm Flare Expander Die ensures perfect vertical alignment of the bullet within the case, resulting in consistently accurate bullet seating. 

The 9mm flare die eliminates powder spillage! Precision machined from high-grade tool steel and heat treated to over 60 Rockwell hardness, the Flare Expander shaft has a silky smooth finish that will not stick to the case, ensuring a smooth entry and exit into and out of the case mouth while reloading your ammunition.

The Mighty Armory Flare Expander Die is an independent station die compatible with a wide range of reloading presses, including single stage, turret, auto-indexing and autodrive presses.

The flare expander die requires no tools to set up, is easy to use, ultra tough and will outlast other options. A locking nut is included for easy removal from the press station while maintaining the setting. A nylon nut at the top of the die is optional and can be removed depending on your reloading press.

For reloaders seeking to achieve precise ammunition reloads with the highest level of accuracy, consistency, easy case flaring and concentric bullet seating, the Mighty Armory Flare Expander Die delivers dependable performance with every stroke of the press.

Key Features:

  • Flares the case mouth and expands I.D. to -.003 inches below bullet diameter.
  • Ensures perfect vertical alignment and accurate bullet seating.
  • Precision CNC machined from high-grade tool steel, heat treated for exceptional strength and durability. 
  • Tool-free, ultra tough design with a silky, smooth polished finish to prevent case sticking.
  • Compatible with single stage, turret, auto-indexing and autodrive reloading presses.
  • Includes a locking nut for easy adjustment and an optional nylon nut for added security.
  • Ideal for achieving consistent and precise case flaring for bullet seating

The comprehensive use of the Mighty Armory Flare and Expander Die is perfect to meet the needs of the commercial to beginner reloaders.

Popular Questions

1. How much bell should I put in the case?

After flaring, measure the inside of the case just below the flare. Ideally you want to see .003 to .004 below bullet diameter. This ensures correct bullet tension and proper crimping tensions. 

2. How do I choose the right expander die for my needs with so many options on the market?

There are several types of flare expander dies on the market today, each with different pros/cons as well as different capabilities. It is recommended that you use a set of dies that are matched. For instance, Mighty Armory reloading dies work together as a measured system - size, flare, (optional) seat and crimp. Using a measured system makes loading easy and efficient – Think SAAMI spec for the best results!

Instructions

Step 1: Turn the flare die with bushing into the tool head exposing about 1/2 inch below.

Step 2: Set a case in the plate or holder and flare the case. Measure the inside diameter of the case mouth using the back of your caliper. Flare should be .005 under bullet diameter.

Step 3: Find your desired setting by turning the flare expander shaft up or down. Bullet should set into the flare and stay in place when turned up-side-down.

Step 4: Lock the locknut into place.

Flare measurements depend on bullet diameter:
9mm & 38 Super: Flare to .381 to .383
.38 Special & .357 Magnum: Flare to + .002 to .003
.40 S&W & 10mm: Flare to .423 to .425
.45 ACP: Flare to .474 to.475
