The Hornady Quick Change Powder Die (Hornady part no. 050074) comes in a range of diameters to match the desired expansion for pistol cartridge reloading. It is designed to work with Hornady’s case-activated powder drop system, functioning as a powder-through expander for reloading pistol cases efficiently on a progressive or single-stage press. The die ships with a lower bracket complete with a lock ring and guide bushing, letting a reloader expand the case mouth to precise specification, and it includes a powder measure insert that helps speed up caliber changes at the bench. Note that the sizing bushing itself is not included and must be selected separately to match the caliber being loaded.
