[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 663614, member: 43153"] UPDATE: I haven't received the measure yet, but I am now just about 100% sure (from looking at pics) that I will definitely be needing an "intermediary" die, which has an ID that will handle RUM cases. The only one that I can come up with which conforms to that requirement is the dillon extra large powder die. But I'm not sure if the fit would be universal fit to powder measures OTHER than the 450/550/650 series dillon setups. For a powder die to have "universal" fit, it would need to have the top tapped out to 7/8X14 female for PM's to fit into, and 7/8X14 male thread at the bottom, to fit standard presses, correct? Can anyone say if the top of the DXLPD is properly threaded to fit standard powder measures? (I'm sure that the bottom thread is correct) If that is NOT the case, is any sort of adapter available? If THAT is not case, would it be soft enough to easily drill and tap it? On that same note (the "soft enough?" note), would I be better off just taking a regular size large rifle die that I KNOW will fit the PM, and drill (the bottom end of) it out just a bit (to 9/16, as I don't have a 35/64 drill bit), so the RUM cases will fit into it?
