[QUOTE="Max Heat, post: 666289, member: 43153"] OK, I'm starting to get tired of having to update my own findings as the hardware arrives, having to retract what I said that I thought the situation was, before I actually had the pieces in had. With no one able (or maybe willing?) to set me straight on this stuff BEFORE I actually purchase something that I don't know for sure will fit/work for what I am trying to do, I feel like the proverbial lab rat. But if it helps anyone ELSE out, I'm glad to do it. After I finally received the PM, I saw that the thread size is NOT 7/8x14. NOR is it 5/8x14, as I believe one poster did suggest. NOR is it 5/8x18, which is the size that the smaller, pistol-sized PM's (and dies) use. It mikes out to 5/8x12, which is very coarse for that diameter. But being that it is 5/8, means that it WOULD be able to fit into of a powder die WITHOUT any sort of collar fixed to it. Here I go making guesses/assumptions again, but this will be the last one (and I'm done): I haven't received the BIG die yet to verify a direct fit with the PM, but I'm now thinking that there are 2 standards for PM's & powder dies. The small capacity PM's used for small cases (as in pistol) have 18 pitch, which is what the small powder dies will accept. The large capacity PM's run 12 pitch, only allowing fitment onto/into large powder dies. I'm tempted to ask if anyone can verify this, but going by previous responses, I need not bother asking. But if this IS the case, THEN I'm good-to-go! [/QUOTE]
