Other than that, I don't understand how one could possibly leak powder when most plugs go inside the case neck. The powder measure goes inside the plug. The measure charges when you raise the case, not lower it, so there's no chance of anything happening there. Whatever, I guess some people can screw up anything.
I think you have a good plan going. Are you using one of those special sizing dies for 223 that you don't need to trim cases? I don't want to talk you out of your project, but is there any reason you don't want to use the NOE powder through expander plugs to expand, charge, and prime all in station 2?
