    Question about the Lee expander die

    I'm looking to buy a NOE expander plug for .40 S & W and the NOE site says it works in the Lee Universal Expanding Die. The one that's included in the 3 die carbide set is named the powder through the expander die and doesn't look quite like the universal die. Will Al's expander plug work anyway?

    No, The internals of the die are different. The link to the die from Lee is below.

    Here's how to use it with the NOE expanders. The expanders in the top left came with the Lee die...they just flair.
