Works great on my lee pro6000 and pro4000. A couple of quirks:

- Certain powders like to stick on the contact rod. I primarily run TG and traces amount of powder like to stick on the rod, where said powder winds up on the shell plate and starts to accumulate after ~300-400 loadings. This is minor and workable.

- Watching a video on the DAA powder cop die, they seemed to remove the feature of adjusting the sensitivity of the sensor. I have ran into situations where internal case volume variances (i.e. 223/556 mixed HS brass) would cause the alarm to go off due to the sensor reading outside its parameters. Because of this, I resorted in disabling the alarm and running it as a manual powder cop die.

Overall, I bought this to monitor pistol powder drops as differences in half a grain can result in either an underpowered load or unwanted pressure spikes. It seems to do just fine for that purpose, but I feel like the fixed sensitivity of the sensor limits the application of this powder cop die.

I needed a powder check for .223/5.56, but apparently these have issues with the small case necks on these. The rod tends to just displace the powder and so the beep may or may not occur, very inconsistent, especially with fine spherical powders. I'm only dinging one star, there may have been a caveat somewhere that I didn't catch, and it probably works fine for straight wall cases.

I'm new to reloading and I finally bought this after getting 2 squids during a match. This has increased the quality control and my processes of my reloads. I am now more confident that I don't accidentally miss or under/over charge my cases.

Dont wait till you have a reload issue like I did to get this. This is a lifesaver.

DAA Magnetic Powder Check 2.0 - it’s an awesome product, well designed and well made…..however as the new note indicates, it just doesn’t fit the Frankfort Arsenal X-10 press. The DA team was super helpful and Saul was awesome. We tried and after several emails with pictures back and forth, unfortunately it’s a no go on my X-10 and they issued me a refund. I’m sure it’s a great piece and DA is fantastic to work with.

Not completely satisfied, i'm using 9mm brass with a fine spherical powder, everytime the brass ''sensor''-rod plumbs into the case there is a lot of powder splash. This on one hand makes the loads inconsistent and on the other hand i need to stop every 50 rounds to clean out my shell plate cause everything is filled up with powder...
A solution would be to make a caliber dependent ''cap" which prevents powder to spill out of the case...

I bought the powder check die was a little concerned with some of the reviews but so far my powder check die works with no issues, the check light and the sound alarm work like they should, as of yet I am not a big time reloader and still learning, I have mine installed on a Lee six pack pro 6000 progressive press, Iam also thinking of a bullet feeder system next.
