Hornady PTX Powder Drop Expander 9mm (.355-.365)

Description

The Hornady PTX Universal Powder Drop Expander for 9mm (.355-.365 inches) is a reloading accessory intended to simplify powder-through expansion when using Hornady Quick Change Powder Dies and case-activated powder drops. It installs directly into the powder die so the powder measure rests on its surface, producing an expanded case mouth without separate mouth-separating steps. The PTX design is offered in a variety of diameters to accommodate common pistol and revolver calibers. Its straightforward operation makes it a practical tool for consistent, repeatable handloading workflows.
