Lyman .30 Cal Carbide Expander/Decap Rod$36.79
Availability: In Stock
The Lyman .22 Cal Carbide Expander Decap Rod upgrades your existing Lyman or RCBS rifle sizing dies with a harder, slicker carbide expander button that transforms how your brass handles the sizing stroke. Instead of swapping out dies you've already dialed in, this assembly simply replaces the standard expander, letting you keep your setup while gaining the benefits of carbide neck sizing. If you're reloading .22-caliber rifle rounds and want to extend case life while reducing prep work, this rod does that by minimizing the friction and grip that standard steel buttons create during expansion.
Carbide's smooth surface means the button pulls through your case neck with less resistance and less chance of stretching the brass. That translates to fewer cases getting too work-hardened and cracking, and fewer trips to the case trimmer. The free-floating button design centers itself automatically in the neck, so you get consistent sizing without fussy manual centering. The adjustable positioning sleeve gives you two setup options—you can choose the button placement that works best for the brass you're running and tweak where in the press stroke the expander does its work, giving you better leverage and control.
Because the decapping pin is replaceable, you're not locked into replacing the whole assembly if that pin eventually wears out. This is a straightforward upgrade for reloaders who want better case longevity and less frequent trimming without abandoning the dies that work for their operation.
| Caliber | .22 Cal |

| Decapping Pin | Replaceable |
Yes. This expander rod assembly is designed to fit all Lyman and RCBS rifle sizing dies, so you can upgrade your existing die without replacing it.
The carbide button has a smoother surface that reduces friction and grip on the brass during the sizing stroke. This helps prevent case stretching, extends case life, and means you'll trim cases less often.
The adjustable positioning sleeve gives you two placement options for the button and lets you control at what point in the stroke the expander engages, so you can optimize for your brass and get better mechanical advantage from your press linkage.
The decapping pin is replaceable, so you can swap in a new one without buying a whole new assembly.
