Expander Ball / Button

I bought a second hand RCBS die set.

On resizing 100 Cases I have discovered there is no expander ball

I have searched the net and cannot find an RCBS one.

I was looking at the Tapered Redding expander Buttons but have two questions do they fit RCBS dies and are they any good?

Contact RCBS directly. Chances are, they'll send you one.

I have retrofitted some of my RCBS dies with Redding carbide expanders. They are not quite as 'sticky', might give them a try.

Have you tried seating bullets in the unexpanded brass? It will sometimes work just fine.
