    Universal Powder through Pistol Die

    Lee used to make a universal rifle die for or now offers a pair for small and large rifle that one can attach a powder drop such as the auto disk to or their drum measure to on a press. Lee also sells specific caliber powder through expander dies. What I'm wondering is does anyone sell a universal die just for dropping powder through for pistol?

    I don't really want to buy a specific powder through die with an expander as I prefer to use NOE expander buttons to size case for lead bullets and flare mouth. Or I'm using a two or three die set that has an expander and just want to have a powder dispenser on the turret or on the single stage press.

    I find I may be loading more 9mm for daughter in law and don't really like doing the powder off the press and no 9mm powder through dies available from what I can see. I also can see using a universal powder through die for other pistol calibers where the dies set doesn't include a powder through expander die. I have the old Lee Universal but that was for rifle only I'm pretty sure. Not to mention it is a PITA to set up as it was intended for progressive presses I think.
    Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.

    Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

    in both the lee and Lyman universal powder through dies a set of expanders for different calibers should be included in the box and can be changed out according to what caliber your reloading.
