Working with the NOE nose sizing system

Hello All: I'd like to pass along some ideas I'm working with to make the NOE nose sizing system a little easier to work with.. First, I shortened a Lee push rod from 1.310 to .780. This gives a better point of leverage on the press stroke. Next, I've cut some lengths of copper pipe to various lengths required for different bullets. These sit on top of the press ram around the push rod and come up against the push through size body and bushing. This provides a repeatable stop point one bullet to the next. All or just part of the nose can now be sized to fit up tight to the throat, ball seat whatever with the front band or spot of your choice on the nose.  Please pass along ideas you've come up with also. Thanks Gp
