Hornady PTX Universal Powder Drop Expander

Description

The Hornady PTX Universal Powder Drop Expander is a reloading accessory designed to work with Hornady Quick Change Powder Die systems and case-activated powder drops. It is produced in a range of diameters to accommodate different cartridge mouth sizes. The expander installs directly into the powder die so the powder drop rests on the surface with the powder measure positioned above. When used as intended, the expander provides an appropriately expanded case mouth without separating the mouth on the case expander die.
