Great product! Switching from the Hornady powder cop die to this. Used it on a Hornady LNL to load 9mm and soon to be used with 223. Station 1 resize then prime, station 2 powder drop, station 3 DAA Powder Check, station 4 Hornady bullet feed and station 5 seat and crimp. I wouldn’t use a bullet feed die unless there was a powder checker and with the audible alarm you don’t have to watch a rod go up allowing you to use your eyes else where.

I mounted the DAA magnetic powder check onto my Dillon XL 650. The fine tuning took some time but once its set, its very reliable. However there is a downside to the tool: When a fine flake based propellent is used, some of the flakes tend to stick to the rod en subsequently fall off resulting in the shell plate being covered with powder after a while and the brass filled with an inaccurate amount of powder...
[DAA Reply]: As of Sep 1st 2021, the plunger tip is made out of brass which should solve issue.

Loading 9mm on my XL650, I found that the plastic insert was tight and some times it would not go all the way down, I had to sand it a little. I also found that the alarm would drift off the mark, doing well for a few rounds then going off. I measure about the first 100 rounds to insure a proper charge. At times I thought I should go back to my Dillon check but wanted to see if I could iron out the problems. I fiddled around with it till I finally got it to work. Bob.
[DAA Reply]: The Plastic insert does indeed need to move loosely and smoothly inside the die body. Sorry if you had to sand that down. Sometimes a small burr on a plastic piece can cause that. We do test for that, but may have missed it...
Not sure what you mean by "drift", but pleased to read you have it setup correctly and working well now.

This is the best powder checker I have been able to use.
