Hornady PTX Universal Powder Drop Expander
Universal powder drop expander for Hornady reloading dies. Available in multiple diameters (.355 to .500 inch) for efficient case mouth expansion without separate expander die setup.
Streamlined Reloading Efficiency
The Hornady PTX Universal Powder Drop Expander represents a thoughtful refinement in reloading equipment design. This expander works seamlessly with Hornady's Quick Change Powder Die and case-activated powder drop systems, eliminating the need for a separate case expander die step in your reloading sequence.
How It Works
Simply insert the expander into your powder die. The powder drop sits directly on the expander surface, with your powder measure positioned on top. This straightforward arrangement expands your case mouth to your desired diameter in a single, efficient operation.

Practical Advantage
By consolidating the expansion step into your powder charging operation, you reduce the number of die changes and handling cycles required during reloading. This approach saves time at the bench while maintaining the precision and consistency your handloads demand.
