Found another bonus with the Dillon powder check die

[jmorris]

I had an ammo load stepped 9mm case somehow get by and into the machine, the powder check found it.

 

I wired into this particular PC die as it is an input for the PLC that normally runs this machine but it is otherwise as it came from Dillon.

Very cool that it detects that difference in case volume.

Good use of the powder check.  I know that just visually checking the powder level I haven't caught those cases with the internal step in them.

Confirms my results as well.  I set up the Dillon powder check where it operates in a fairly tight range and can detect a few tenths of a grain difference (over or under) as well as case volume issues (dirt, debris, spider web, stepped brass).  Although I visually check, I consider the Dillon powder check a great tool for producing consistent quality ammo and can detect things I can't visually detect.
