The Hornady PTX Universal Powder Drop Expander combines powder dropping and case mouth expansion into a single step, letting the powder measure sit directly on top of the die. It fits Quick Change Powder Die systems and case-activated powder drop setups, so a separate case mouth expander die is no longer needed.
Insertion into the powder die is immediate, and the expander is offered in diameters from .355 to .500 inches to suit a range of calibers.
