Man, bending THAT rod has to hurt! Sorry.

You MAY have an option with a universal decap die and - maybe -an "M" expander from Lyman but don't know if they make one in .17.

Don't know if Lee makes on of their Collet Neck sizers for .17 or not. If they do you could get that as a stand-alone die. Then use your present FL sizer when needed and let the collet die's decap/expand rod do that part.

Sadly, you may be just as well off to buy a new die set.
