I'm not sure what specifically fixed the problem, but I did several things per above and I've since made ~20K rounds without this issue. Without studying my comments above, I recollect making these changes: Moved to a new MBF feeder. I still have a hard time believing the funnel wore out but I did have many (tens of) thousands of rounds on the old one. I did clean my old one before I swapped to no avail, but I can't vouch for how it looked microscopically. Implemented rubber non-spill buttons in place of the brass Dillon buttons on the last 2 stations plus a "brush button" after the powder fill station prior to where I run a powder check. Added zip tie "bumper guards" to the press between buttons as AHI showed above (video below only shows one but I do it on everything after powder fill now). Adjusted the M7 timing so that it paused after index--I'm not home now so I cannot tell you the final settings. This change slowed down my press a bit but I believe this was a big factor (maybe the biggest) in the bullets no longer tipping. I can check this when I get home if you'd like to know my settings. Here is a video where I show a bit of this experience ==>

In late Nov 2021, total shipped price to US was just under $248...and worth every penny

I have the DAA plate installed on two different Dillon case feeders--both are different vintages and pre-variable speed. My understanding was the DAA wedge should only be used on the variable speed while the DAA plate is used across all Dillon models.

Use mine on a 1050- and 650- attached Dillon case feeders (different vintages). Have never seen this with Dillon's plates or since I installed DAA.

I'm the original poster and have tried every solution suggested here. If you watch my video in slow motion, you'll see the powder "splash" out of the case. I was definitely able to improve the situation with the best solution in my testing proving to be the straw. However, I could never make the splash go away entirely--it simply made the loader messy over a period of time. I finally gave up on this powder check and moved on. Today I have moved to an M7-automated 1050 and I use the M7 powder check, which is similar to the Dillon powder check in design. However, I actually believe the design is slightly more accurate than Dillon but is less flexible in that it will trigger on no case, which the Dillon will not. However, relative to this thread, neither spills the amount of powder over time that I have experienced with the DAA detector.

Thanks for the info. Mine does say "Loader", so I assume it must be current based on your comments. You did spark my interest on your 4-stage motor comment. This unit is on the order of a year old--how do I tell which motor I have?

Yes, I found it after this post. Thanks.

That has been my experience as well. I have various lengths (and generations) of 9mm for Open and 40 for Limited.

That's what I had to to in order to resolve the confusion with my first set of mags.

Actually his video is anything but clear and he never clearly shows what he's talking about. Before I got a Gen2 tube, it was unclear what version I had. Having two tubes of different vintage side-by-side, the difference is subtle at best. I know I'm not the only only one left wondering by his video. It would have been much better had he carefully shown what he's talking about.

That’s not my point. I have a set of tubes and I have no ideA whether they are gen1 or gen 2. Which followers do I order? That is missing my point. I have a set of tubes and I have no idea if they are gen1 or gen2. What followers do I order? His video is anything but clear.

And, while I'm a big MBX fan...owning many copies, Adrian's video explaining how to tell the difference is ANYTHING but clear. In fact he almost makes it MORE confusing.

There is a subtle difference in the body toward the top of the mag and a corresponding difference in the follower.

Thanks. I split this out to a separate thread to see if anyone else can weigh in.

Can anyone tell me whether there are release notes or a change log published on the M7 firmware levels? I can't seem to find anything. I'm currently running "Version: 00.02.11 Firmware: 1050 PRO 40, Motor: 3432 (3) On USB". When I unzip the latest from their website I get the files below in the zip. Based on the dates and the age of my Autodrive, I assume I have the latest. Can anyone tell me if the files below will give you the version I have? I'm not willing to just install it and see what happens!
