The machine did not work properly at first. I contacted them about it and they gave me instructions on what to do if it did not work right. They were spot on. Machine works fantastic and great customer service !!! Worth the money for the time saving for doing large runs of ammo reloading.

Great! Had one minor failure to drop in 500 rounds with 124gr lead bullets. It took less than 5 minutes to get the right adjustment set. Compare that with my hornady bullet feeder which would experience a problem every 10 or 20 rounds. The DAA is a no-brainer, wish I had not wasted $$ on the hornady thing.

After reloading for many years, I recently made the transition to a progressive press. I primarily reload 9x19 and selected a Mark 7 Apex 10 press. The DAA Powder Check 2.0 is installed immediately following the powder drop and before the bullet drop. The DAA Powder Check 2.0 installed and adjusted easily.
The ONLY issue I have with the Powder Check 2.0 is that it did create a significant mess on the shellplate after 200 to 300 rounds. The problem is not caused by static electricity, but rather the airflow caused by the powder check brass plunger displacing the air inside the case during the stroke. The problem is likely more significant when loading 9mm with fine powders (my case). Also, the fact that the brass plunger enters the case at the point of the stroke when the tool head is moving most rapidly doesn't help.
After much weeping and gnashing of teeth, I was able to mitigate the issue substantially. After setting the powder check die depth correctly, I purposely inserted a case that was loaded with powder 1 grain lighter than my normal charge and cycled the toolhead down. With the toolhead down, I put a zip tie around the steel shaft at the top of the die so that the plunger could not drop any lower during operation. I then removed the light loaded case, and replaced it with a correctly charged case to complete the setup (magnet position). Basically, I just reduced the speed that the brass plunger is moving when it enters the case now.
Doing this, the powder mess was almost completely eliminated and the powder check still identifies incorrect loads.
My initial thought was to give a lower review, but I believe the problem I encountered was due to the combination of the case dimensions, type of powder, dimensions of the brass plunger, and speed of the press stroke in my circumstance.
It's a very innovative product that works quite well in most circumstances. 4 stars and I will purchase the DAA powder check again if the need arises.

Purchased one initially and found this to be by far the easiest way to adjust for different bullet lengths. No more add/subtract shims and having to keep up with them. Ultimately purchased the 3 pack and no a change over is just slide the appropriate nose guide in place and you are done. At least one should be included with original purchase. Highly recommended.

Thought I was only going to use on 38 Special reloading because of tall, small case which is difficult to see powder levels. But because it is so easy to setup, I use for everything. The light and buzzer give you peace of mind.
