As the title says, I need an aftermarket expander for a Lee Powder-Through-Expander die.

I know there are a few guys on the Castboolits forums, as well as NOE Bullet Molds, that sell replacement expanders for the universal expander die. But, is there anyone selling expanders for the PTE die?

Specifically, I need a tapered .475" expander to stick in a .500 S&W die body.

I'm sure you have already done this, but because I can't resist, did you ask Lee if they could make one for you?

A Lee expander will have the wrong profile.

I need one that's tapered, for necking a case from .458" to .475"; and to serve as an expander for cast bullet use later on. It doesn't take much of a taper for that 0.017" diameter change, but the radius that Lee uses is too abrupt.

That makes all versions from Lee, even custom, a no-go.
