Low powder sensor
Quote from Reloader on February 18, 2018, 9:08 pmI’m considering buying this add-on. Does it have any effect, good or bad, on powder metering?

Quote from Reloader on February 20, 2018, 11:32 pmI think something is a must. You can be pretty busy trying to watch everything. Even with good light, you might miss looking in a case.
I chose to use a Lockout Die. More trouble to setup, I would think. But I do not have to look at it either once it is set. I still try to look at every case and see if it's ballpark with the amount of powder. But that does not always happen.

Quote from Reloader on February 21, 2018, 2:54 pmYou're right. I don't think of powder sensor as an optional add on, since my XL-650 came with it. My brain made the switch to powder check, since that is an option.
