The first step expands the inside of the shell neck to slightly smaller than the diameter of the bullet, ensuring an optimal fit of the shell neck. The second step expands the inlet of the shell to the diameter of the bullet or slightly above. This allows the bullet to be placed perfectly centered and axial to the shell neck. The carbide mandrel is very hard and perfectly smooth, so it easily passes through the shell neck, causing the shell to stretch easily and precisely. Thus, the carbide die reduces the degree of trim in the shell, which, of course, contributes to longer shell life.

According to the manufacturer, the working surfaces made of tungsten carbide do not require the use of shell lubricants.
