Does a good job checking for no-powder or double charges. The boot kicks up powder when it makes contact with the case and ends up making a huge mess on the shellplate, really makes me wonder what powder they used to test this with before going to market.

[DAA Reply]: Yes, a powder check is designed to check for double charges or no charge. It is not designed for anything else. The foot of the rod does make contact with the powder, like other such devices on the market, and as it lifts out it may indeed cause a spill of a tiny amount of powder. In our testing (N350 and N310) it was a negligible amount. But I do believe it does depend on static electricity,. Which may vary from place to place.

This device does its job well. It's easy to set up - easier than Dillon's Powder Check. And since it takes up less space on the press, it is easier to do just about everything.

Set this up on a Hornady LNL Progressive press with 9mm shell plate , Red Anodized threaded fitting wouldn't go down far enough to allow casing to lift internal plastic bushing to activate the micro switch , hit the top of shell plate ! Had to put in lathe and turn down the threaded area like EVERY die manufactured to put a step in it aprox. 3/16" to allow it to fit properly & actually work . Besides that , works like a champ

It is great! It is designed to work on virtually any press with a 7/8-16 die thread regardless of manufacturer.
It is too easy to lose track of what is happening when running a progressive. I think every progressive should have an audible and visual powder alarm.

Great product! Helps prevent squibs. I have one for each caliber I reload.

Easy to install, set up and use. Works very well. Takes up a bit less space on tool head, too.
