Excellent tool to ensure accurate powder measuring
Hornady has some excellent products. Exactly what I was looking for. Functions as advertised. Easy to set up and use. Highly recommend.

bonehead simple powder checker that works great
Genius. Incredibly straight forward way to make sure you don't over or undercharge your rounds. Yes, unlike fancy versions, there's no "alarm" to listen for, nor will it halt your progressive press if it senses an issue, but unlike those other options, it actually WORKS every time.

Just a must have for any who use a turret or progressive press
Not a whole lot to say. It works well and could possible save your life. I nver double loaded a shell, but I have had times when I forgot to hit the reset button on my auto powder loaded and seat a bullet on an empty shell. Good thing I don't hunt Bear or Lion. In most cases you would notice by weight it's empty, but I use match grade bullets and don't like scratching them by pulling them out of a shell.

Excellent quality.
I use this while double checking every ten or so. Essential for me and the quality is top notch.

Useful but know how to set it up
A useful, well-made device, but learn about its limitations and how to set it up correctly. The die will warn you of two things when you can't see into a deep case to see a small charge: (1) an empty case or (2) a double charge. You have to flip the piston inside the die for cases with a small neck, such as the 223 or 22-250. Lightly dust the piston with graphite to prevent powder from sticking to the piston.

It works as it should
Again. I wish I had one of these when I first started reloading. Set it and go. It will definitely show under and over loads. Very easy and fast.

Works great. No worrying.
Works perfect. Eliminates any worrying of empty case, or overfill/underfill. Saved a ton of money purchasing here compared to other stores.

Basic but works
I've been loading for years. I load mostly pistol, 38/357, 9mm, 40sw, 10mm, 44spl/mag and 45ACP. I use slow powders because they tend to give the best velocities. I don't worry too much about double charging because most of my loads have over 50% load density. It would be tough to miss that. I do worry about under loading. Squib loads can be dangerous. This die is easy to install and is a simple mechanical die. There is no buzzer or anything but it is much better than eyeballing each charge. Recommended.

Quick and easy setup Easily spot powder issues.
Quick and easy setup, place in progressive press after the powder measure to easily spot potential powder issues. A nice feature for the LNL AP or any compatible auto progressive press.
