I load lead 230gr RN using a standard Lee 4-die set. It works fine and the rounds feed fine in my STI 1911.

With pistol rounds, the standard belling die works fine.
M die is for rifle cases. |

The Lyman M expander isn't essential for these pistol rounds, but I use one anyway. I found it helps reduce the off-center rounds I found with normal expanders. It creates a small "shelf" or rim of brass that the bullet base rests on and allows better alignment. Its only $20. If you use it, make sure that the expander mandrel is in securely and doesn't loosen on you, or else it'll cause some over expanded brass. Have fun!
