Hey, this is a Dillon Product so it is good. The reason that I ordered this is because the original tube Dillon provided to me got a primer stuck in it and I could not get it straightened out and go down the tube. So I just ordered it from Double Alpha. So far the new tubes work fine. The only thing that I would change is that I would package the product with 2 large and 2 small primer tubes. I had to get the 4 small. Probably will order the 4 pack of large next time. $6.95 shipping charge less than Dillon and no sales tax for me in Texas which Dillon charged me for.

This is an amazing product. I have the .45 set on my Dillon 650 and will run that tomorrow. Tonight I set the bullet die on my RCBS pro 2000 manual advance and it worked flawlessly. I am so impressed with it. I'm buying a couple more so I have extra. Perfect for me.

Directions don't really relate to the rifle setup or using a 650 but figured it out. Kind of a pain to load, tube size being so close to lead size. Gonna try to chamfer the opening with a countersink bit

Cool and fun add-on works great for my 9mm and 223 reloading.

Not a lot to say on these. I bought 3, one for 9mm, one for 45ACP and one for .223 Remington.
They work as intended and allowed me to setup the powder checker right next to the powder charger.

I purchased 3 of these powder checkers and am impressed by the ease of installation and how well they work.
I am more of a "I can install it much easier if I can see it done" and not so much read about how to install it. So I watched the video on you tube.
They work great on my 9mm and 45ACP but was a bit finicky when I tried to set it up for the .223 Remington/5.56x45 using CFE223 powder. The rod tends to rub on one side of the cartridge brass and sometimes the rod won't go all the way down to the powder. This does result in some false alarms. I also had a heck of a time dialing in the alarm area where the case with the proper amount of powder should not trip the alarm. I did notice that when the rod does go all the way to the top of the powder it sometimes goes past that point and pushes the powder aside. This sometimes results in the alarm tripping as it thinks there is not enough powder in the case. I also think the powder I'm using, (CFE223), may be part of this problem. If they could figure out some way to keep the rod from going deeper into the case due to the rod pushing the powder to the side, that would be great!
All in all this is a great system and certainly worth the money.
