Title: NOE Push Through Sizing Die and Bushings
Post by: Mr. Farknocker on May 08, 2018, 11:43:41 AM

I bit the bullet and decided to switch over from using Lee Sizing Dies to NOE sizing bushings and expander plugs. I should have done this from the start since I already have most of the Lee sizing dies needed. The Lee sizing dies usually cost me $20 - $23 per (pre-shipping) and have a limited selection. Honing the Lee dies to make them fit is an annoyance as is storing them because they tend to take up so much space.

The NOE sizing system requires the purchase of a Die Body Kit that cost a little less than two Lee sizing kits but the inexpensive sizing bushings make the system more cost efficient in the long run.

Die Body Kit - $39

Body Bushing - $9.75

The interchangeable bushings helps to keep clutter to a minimum and the fact that NOE offers more sizing bushings and an inexpensive punches to size the bullets base-first without damaging the nose are nice features.

NOE uses USPS Priority Mail to ship so it charges the same flat rate to Hawaii as it would to any other State. Its processing time is also 24 hours.

I would encourage other reloaders to check NOE out and compare the cost of NOE's systems with the rest of the competition.

Are we lubing or coating here?

I switched over to coating a while ago although I can't say that I've got the technique down to where it is satisfactory.  I've been using Elvis Ammo's 4-140 technique but I'm not really liking the result. It may be that the temp readings on the toaster dial is inaccurate. I haven't given up yet on Elvis' technique and am still toying around with time and temps. On thing that is clear is that I have not been experiencing any leading shooting both PC pistol and rifle rounds.
