A powder pressing apparatus comprises a powder feeding apparatus. The powder feeding apparatus includes a container having a bottom portion provided with a powder holding portion formed with openings, and an impactor. The impactor is hit against the container to give an impulsive force, thereby feeding the powder contained in the container into the cavity formed in a die via the openings. The powder fed in the cavity is pressed, and the obtained compact is sintered into a sintered magnet. The powder feeding apparatus may include a feeder box containing the powder, and the feeder box may be provided therein with a rod member, and an opening of the feeder box may be provided with a linear member. In this case, the powder is fed into the cavity while moving the rod member in the horizontal direction in the feeder box, when the feeder box is above the cavity.
