I have had success using the Lee Powder thru Expansion Die on my turret press to open up the case to seat cast boolits in both 9mm and 357. I obviously could use the same die in my Hornady Lock and Load progressive press but what method(s) / case expansion die (s) / techniques have you used to expand the case with other progressive powder drops? In my case, the Hornady LnL Powder Measure.

Hornady makes and sells some Powder Through Expanders (PTX) for their powder dispensers. I have not used these but have made my own matching the dimensions I wanted for cast boolits. The weight of the dispenser is too much for some calibers especially if you anneal and for these I use a custom expander and use the Lee pro auto disk units.
