[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 661488, member: 43153"] I have a Lee PPM on the way. I know it's not exactly top-of-the-line, but aside from a few die sets, mostly all of my reloading stuff is Lee. Plus, I also have a powder checking die on the way, so that will help ease my worries regarding too low/too high powder charges. I don't have the PM in my hands yet to be able to completely check it out, but the concern that I had/have from looking at pictures of powder measures is this: When at the top of the stroke, the RUM case protrudes up though the threaded hole, to about 1.35" past the top of the press. If a PM is threaded into the station's hole down to say, 1/2 the depth that the sizing die goes, the .54" diameter case will need to protrude 2.75" up into the PM. If the PM can handle a case of that diameter going that far up into it, then I obviously don't need to worry about using a powder "die". At this point, all I need is for someone to confirm that it will work. It's not easy to tell, just from looking at pictures of powder measures. That's why I was questioning it, thinking that maybe I was going to need some sort of additional die. If not, then it looks like I'm all set. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
