Does the sizer die expand the mouth of the case for cast bullets?

No, there is a separate expander die. The three die set contains the sizing/depriming die, an expander die, and a bullet seating/crimping die.
1629078
Yes it sizes the full length if the case and you will use the taper crimp feature to crimp (hold) the bullet in place

Technically you use the expander die to fit whatever bullet size you need though
1661076
No. You will have to use case lube on all rifle FL sizing dies, even if they are carbide.

No, you will need a different die for gas check with cast bullets, these dies are for reloading and resizing of cartridge cases

Yes it does. As you get into reloading you'll need more.... for instance I use one turret for my universal priming die so I can de-prime before I tumble to get the primer hole clean. This way you don't dirty your full length resizing die when de-priming. You can remove the rod and turn it into a single stage press.

After lubing the case run it through the sizing die and it will be fully sized to saami spec. The second die seats the bullet into the case

Rifle sizing dies are usually not carbide, This one IS NOT carbide. The stem or expander is. This die is very accurate and worked faultlessly for me. I sure spray on case lubrication. No stuck cases.

No john your deprimer is part of your " resizing and depriming die". Usually all die sets come with this die specific to your caliber.

Yes. it includes a re-sizing die, bullet seating die and a crimping die. The crimping die is rarely needed as once the bullet is seated it is stuck firm in the case. Excellent die set, just make sure you use enough lube on the cases (never lube the shoulder though) so they re-size smoothly.

No. the shell holder for the safety prime is flat whereas the shell holder for the die has an adapter to make it connect into the ram of your reloading press

All of the RCBS die sets tell what size shell holder is needed for each caliber, good luck..

Normally, yes. However, some shell holders fit more than one kind of shell (e.g. .357 and .38). The case must be held very stable to prevent damage to the shell and to the die.

YES! I needed to trim the bottom of the case to widen the opening. It works fine.
810213
Yes. I have them on three RCBS sizer/neck sizer dies, .222,.223 & .243. The only difference is SmallBase dies are that they bring the case back down to minimum dimensions. You'll like it!

No, only to size the casing. When you press the bullet (lead only), it will slightly trim the bullet. Hope you only putting 9mm bullets on 9mm casings!

Yes, one sizes and de primes one flares or bells the case mouth and one sets and crimps the bullet

Yes, the shell holders expand quite a bit. The larger shells tend to fit more snugly.

I can't speak to the issue of the RCBS primer, but I resize .223 case and believe it will resize .308's with no problem.
