The Lyman 277 Expanding Button is a precision-machined component designed for reloaders working with .270 caliber rifle cartridges. Intended for use with compatible Lyman resizing dies, this expanding button ensures consistent and accurate case neck expansion, which is critical for proper bullet seating and overall cartridge performance. Ideal for both hobbyist and experienced reloaders, it supports reliable case preparation and contributes to improved ammunition uniformity.
Product Overview
Manufactured by Lyman, a trusted name in reloading equipment since 1878, the 277 Expanding Button is engineered for use with .270 caliber cases. Constructed from durable, wear-resistant steel, the button is designed to deliver uniform neck expansion while minimizing brass work-hardening and neck runout. Its precise diameter ensures that the case neck is expanded to the optimal dimension for bullet seating, reducing the risk of bullet deformation and enhancing overall accuracy. The button is compatible with Lyman resizing dies that accept interchangeable expanding buttons, making it a practical upgrade or replacement part for reloaders seeking consistent results.
