I have a .223 Dillon trim/resizing die. Looking for someone to open it up so it doesnt squeeze the neck down so much. Anyone do this kind of work?

Dillon hardens those dies so you may have issues having this done .

Nah dude, don't fu*k with it. Just run a die with an expander ball on the first station of your press once you go to load them. I deprime on station 1, trim on 3(with a 550B) and then swap toolheads over to load, so my prep is all done with the exception of expanding the neck, so.....yeah.

Btw, on the deprime station(if I'm doing .223) I have a .22-250 die in with a turned down deprimer/expander ball(so it isn't necking it up, then down in the trim/size die. No need to work harden your brass while you're prepping it. Die nor expander touch the case, only the decapping pin
