Thanks for the video, as a new (old) user of this sizing equipment, I thought crap I forgot to order all of what I needed
to size.

After watching the video I am good to go .( I think. )

Thanks again.

Thank you all for this product and the video!

    I am still a novice caster and made a mistake last month and thought I was doing well. I was trying to blend a 94-4-1 alloy and made about 200 45-70 bullets using my 460- 398 RF NOE mold. When I measured them they were at .463. I tied using my Lee push through sizer but it is  .458 and they jammed in the die. Did I mention they were hard?  I tried harder and tore my press off the bench (NB: I am not overly strong, so this is a good example of leverage and the strength of the little$50 Lee Reloader press).

    I ordered the NOE sizing die and the .459 bushing, which is what I needed as my Marlin’s groove diameter is .458.  As these bullets were still hard, I heat treated them at 425 degrees for twenty minutes. When they (air) cooled down I put them through the NOE sizing die mounted on my Redding Ultra Mag. They sized perfectly to .459! No mess, no fuss, no strain on my back or the bench. I re-checked a random twenty rounds and they were all .459. This product is a winner!

no prob!  I love the ability to switch diameters quickly, and the fact that NOE makes a lot of hard to find or custom sizes.
