There you go. You got the kernel sizing down pat as the grading to F size doesn't need to be exact.
As far as a pressing die. I'll P/m you the place where most of us home powder makers bought ours. The fellows Pressing Die is machined aluminum >so it is nice. Just a idea. You could ask the maker: How's about a machine mark on the outside wall to indicate correct volume of filling? i.e. so to not make your pucks too thick. Dried pucks are a bit difficult in their breaking up so to grind. Extra thick pucks wiil form a line of sweat on your brow.

Sure Shot yes send the PM with the sellers info on the press cylinder. I bet its the same one I saw used one of the Youtube videos i watched. Brush Hippy I think.
And he made the point that pucks made too thick were harder to deal with so I will make thin pucks. I bet I can squeeze them in my table vice. If not I have several 12 ton jacks and I guess I can do the compression using my truck for dead weight. Should be able to get 2500-3000 pounds. That oughta do it.

Is this the guy you are referring to for the aluminum die?

This is the video I mention where I saw the die in use. Go to the 9 minute mark.
