I can hand fit a bullet into an expanded mouth with no problem. The measurement of the case at the very edge where it meets the bullet ranges from .4695 to .470 on my semi cheapo digital caliper before running through the crimp die. There doesn't seem to be any change in diameter at all after running them through my Lee factory crimp die.
