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.

Very happy with this powderchecker. Easy to set up and one of the best functions is that it is activated by the case. So no faulty alarms. I also hooked it up to my Mark7 using the cables from my Dillon powdercheck. It works great and is very cheap in my mind.

Very compact and slick device. Way more modern looking than the Dillon version. It took me a while to adjust the magnet position so as not to get false beeps, but once I had it in the right height it works like a charm. Going to get a 2nd one for my other toolhead.
