Not me, fine dies they haven't been made in decades. Buy a Lyman M expander die instead.

Hornady entered the reloading equipment business by buying Pacific. You might check with them since they have retained a number of the original designs features.

I think I tried Hornady onetime when I was looking for a part for my durachrome dies- they didn't stock any parts.

You might look into adapting another brand of expander ball. If it's part of the decaping pin you just might make that work.

See if Hornady will sell you an expander ball (nipple) assembly including stem and ball. They interchange with Pacific. Someone makes a carbide expander assembly that fits it also. I have one in my Duracrome die, but don't recall the brand of the assembly. Help anyone?

I may have a 38 special one that will work in my odds and ends I got laying around from an estate purchase. P.M. me. I'll see if I can find it this week.
