Dirtchevy841 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Thanks for the post just ordered one in 40. If it stops the sticky pop on release then it’s worth it. Looks really slick. They told me it’s way better than the daa alpha dropper and works as advertised. I polished the s$&t out of my daa dropper and it still pops on release. So I’ll try this one if anything I’ll have a extra for when the daa alpha where’s out the lip which it will around 100,000 rds or so you’ll notice some issues. Will see when it comes in.

IronicTwitch Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Got a both 9 and 40 to hopefully remedy/improve the stickiness on releasing the powder drop down stroke. Also thinking about adding a bullet feeder. And supporting small business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This dropper sounds promising Same, i was getting shaved bullets all the sudden after tens of thousands of flawless rounds. The new funnel measured .003” larger than the one I wore out, and the lip was gone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronicTwitch Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Just got my 40, side by side pic with the Dillon https://imgur.com/a/DPaldUR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intheshaw1 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Does it matter that the taper part on the alpha is less than the Dillon? Newer to reloading and have only used the 9mm drop and need a 40. Was going to order the Dillon one but if this one really is better then I'll pick one of these up instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZGeoege Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I ordered one of these to replace the DAA expander that came with my bullet feeder. Hope it was worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just set my powder measure and polished the s#!t out of the mbf funnel even sanded it a little with 800,1600,2000 grit sandpaper and it still sticks.
