Does RCBS, or anyone else, make PTX expanders, that can replace the Hornady PTX expanders? If so, where might I purchase them from? Thanks.
Here is one option for use with the Hornady L-N-L powder measure. A number of folks here use it and like it.

The RCBS case activate powder measure system is a license built version of the Hornady (or maybe it is the other way around). In any case, pieces/parts in the powder drop area are kind of interchangeable with adjustments. I use a Uniflow powder measure in a Hornady powder drop die with my own, home made PTX dies.
Here is RCBS 38 caliber expander but they do make other ones.

It is inexpensive enough that a test would not be out of the question. My main concern would be that the step on the RCBS tube matches with the stop ring at the bottom of the Hornady powder drop die.
I have Hornady ptx expanders for 9mm and 38/357. I load cast coated bullets in 38/357. The ptx goes from .355 to .360 and have zero issues.

No affiliation, I just ordered one and waiting for it to come in.
