So, getting back into reloading 45acp, hopefully with casting this time, and I found a great deal on a used Turret press with the auto disk measure.
Problem is, I still have my old Lyman AA dies, which I got because I heard that the m die is awesome. It is, but it's not powder through. :sad:
So, lee doesn't make a seem to universal pistol charging die....
I'd there a way to turn off the expanding part of a powder through expanding die, and still charge, so I can just buy the one die?
Is there a pistol charging die I'm missing?
Or should I just bite the boolit and switch to lee dies to go with the rest if my red setup.
Thanks in advance

Yes, just turn the die out so it doesn't bell the case mouth. It will still allow you to drop the powder and then use the M die in the next station to expand. This is how all my cast turrets are set up.

Just buy a Lee .45 ACP PTE die for ten bucks. Don't forget to purchase the powder measure riser also if you don't have one, you'll need it with those other dies in the turret, trust me.
