These parts have been dribbling in for a couple weeks and now finally, I have all the initial parts I ordered to start using this system.
Now I can insure that the cases do not swage my casts down further. I will experiment at first to see the best fit by loading and taking down a few rounds to see what the outcome will be.

This is the 'beginners box' here, not having any experience with NOE I just took a WAG at what I need and punted. I imagine those other empty areas will fill over time. These cheap plastic boxes are the easiest way I can imagine to keep track of this assortment.

One thing to think about...these NOE expanders don't come marked...you will need to find a way to identify each one.
I hand engraved mine with one of those vibrating gizmos.

As an after thought, these expanders could prolly be used like a pin gauge to measure your cylinder throats...they're cheap, less than $7 each IIRC'ly.
