Just got done trying it out on a blank, no primer, no powder.
My .357 expander plug is actually .356, my 9mm expander plug was .353
Trying it with less sizer, and more expander makes the brass look factory, and works it MUCH less, too.
NO NECK BULGES!!
My 9mms all lock up on it, and the headspace looks like factory brass.
I did the thumb test, and a kinetic bullet puller isn't getting this one out.

Thank you, john kilgore for your insight on how to work the brass less.
I was afraid to use the .357 expander, but it sure works better than the 9mm.
I suspect this will tighten my groups a lot.
I also switched from PMC brass to WIN.
The flash holes are much more centered in the WIN.
