N O E Expander
Anyone using NOE powder through plug in the AD for 45acp 200gr LSWC, if so which size expander are you using?

Re: N O E Expander
It's a trick question .
What's your loaded dia bullet ?
How hard is it , resistant to case swage .
Ideally it will leave the area below the flare .002 smaller than the bullet. If you're loading.452 for a .451 groove then you want a .450/.451 if you're loading.454 for a fat cylinder then the .452/3 will be better suited . A 16-18 bhn commercial cast at .453 probably won't be bothered by the .450 . The .453 at 10 or less for a hollow point or other expansion type will swage under .452 at the base .
