I’m curious what the point is? I’ve never outrun the stock Dillon case feeder on my XL650 loading 9mm. Perhaps if I had one of those motorized bases on a 1050. Seems like a solution in search of a problem.
I have an ammobot, I have never run out of cases. Since it runs all pistol brass, that is a plus, but this seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
You must not shoot a lot or reload much. I easily shoot 500 rounds of rifle, 500 pistol and another 500 22LR every weekend. When you shoot that much you have to have an automatic/motorized unit. Pulling the handle for 2 hours gets old quick.
For those wondering "why", lots of us use machines that need faster feed rates than the Dillon feeder can do with the stock plate. Things like Rollsizing for example, can need in excess of 6000 rph, which the DAA case plate does easily in a new Dillon case feeder. In an old AC unit, not quite that fast, about 5200 an hour top speed.
I bought this Turbo Case feed plate for my 25 year old xl650. I bought it primarily because my Dillon case feeder was delivering too many upside down cartridges. I received this orange hard plastic case feeder plate and was very excited. I installed it and After about 1000 rounds of roll-sized, clean, 9 mm brass I found this plate delivered the same amount of upside down casings and it is very loud due to the hollow plastic nature of this feeder plate. I loaded less casings into the case feeder but it made no difference how much or how little brass I fed into the brass feeder. I don't want to disagree with all you satisfied users but for me I had to return it. Josh at DAA is great to work with and helped me out with the return. DAA is a great company to deal with and I highly recommend them. I bought my roll sizer and various caliber conversions kits from them.
Why would need to change plates? I have been using a Dillon 650 for years and I can't pull the handle fast enough to catch up with the plate that came with my Dillon 650.
I would be less interested in the case feed speed, and more interested in finding out if the double alpha product is less prone to jamming. I do have a fairly regular situation occur with my case feeder where for some reason the cases jam it up and it stops turning completely. If the double alpha product eliminates this I would probably make the switch.
I just bought the wedge to solve this problem as well. I just added the case feeder to my press not that long ago and the jamming issue is frustrating. @@mackluster4714
My greatest frustration is with Mr. Bullet Feeder. The shims don't work very well to turn the bullets the correct way before they drop. Is there a better way to reduce the number of inverted bullets in the feeder die?
I can see the use in something like a large shooting club reloading room when everyone wants plinking rounds with the quickness. It would also allow for higher speed rollsizing.
The thing I like about that plate is my Dillon plate/wedge combo would cause jams at the point the case is dropped into the tube. The DAA combo solved that problem. The DAA plate is smoother, feeds a bit faster, best of all no jams. I recommend to add washers when installing the wedge. Screws provided are relatively narrow and get jammed in the holes of the case feeder.
I run the newer Dillon case feeder on Rollsizer commercial unit and when using the case feed plate from DoubleAlpha the motor speed can be reduced which decreases the chances of having cases stack up in the funnel at the opening of the case feeder. A win-win while processing high volumes of brass.
To my ear, it sounded like the motor was laboring heavily(or more) with the Double Alpha plate. Was that real or video artifact? If it’s real, then why use a product that will wear out the more expensive component faster? The real selling point, as others have noted, is the one-plate-fits-all feature. But, if it is risking burning out the motor, then I will keep swapping plates.
The turbo feeds better when you're running the case feeder at full speed because with the additional speed of the plate the brass is not able to pile up like it was in your video because there's enough inertia to physically be able to move the cases out of the way so they can fall into the slots more consistently
I have this new plate, it works great but the speed isn’t why I purchased it, but can’t get the Dillon xl750 to run smooth enough to utilize the speed, I purchased it specifically for the case sizes it can handle without changing plates
The delivery speed is probably s great a feature for running an automated press. Not needing to change plates is a great feature for all setups. Safety Nancy mode on: Don't blow that media dust out in your shop, it's got things you do not want to breath.
Honestly iv never had a problem with my case feeds not keeping up. The caliber swap being eliminated is the only reson its worth buying in my opinion. With that said brass always keeps up, primers and projectiles not so much. cool though
Anyone know if this plate helps reduce jams when loading 9mm with an older (two speed) Dillon case feeder that does not allow for installation of the wedge?
Nope. Ive tried a bunch of different things with making the small and large pistol plates taller and it never worked out. Small rifle plate is still the goto.
I bought this when it first landed. It is awesome and smooth. No need to change for calibers. Not "needed" for slot machine reloading, but if you auto decap, auto load, or auto resize, it is mandatory.
The Dillon case feeder tube fills up with 20 or 30 cases already. Who cares how fast the tube fills up. Everytime you pull the handle it drops another case so it doesn't matter how fast the orange one is.
I call bogus ! At least with the one I purchased, no amount of tinkering would feed cases reliabley without excess upside downers. Went back to stock Dillon. Faster is not better if they will not go thru the press
Is it possible to load more than 75 rounds in a minute, if not then why worry about feeding more cases?
I was thinking the same thing. Even 1500 rounds an hour with a auto drive is only 25 rounds a minute.
Rollsizing is why people use it usually

My Commercial Rollsizer will outrun a standard case feeder with ease.
this might be if you're using the mark auto drive as I know that produces more bullets so you might need that to keep up.

I bought this in lieu of Dillon plates when I set up my xl750 recently and I am super happy with it!

This is for people with rollsizers

I bought the DAA wedge for that reason, it solved my jamming issues. I haven't purchased the plate.

Cant outrun the lack and price of primers.

Did I hear that the drive motor in the case feeder straining more with the orange one? If that is so I would want to give that some serious thought!

But can you pull the handle ~20% faster?

Makes me wonder if there's a rifle version now.
Looks like it works well. Something I personally would not purchase. Nice video as always.
i have an 1100 and have never outran the stock case feeder
Any word on a rifle case variant?
Just watched your video on .22 nobler and I was just curious on what your thoughts on .223 alternatives are ie 6.5 Grendel, 22 nosler, 6.8 spc etc
For a manual press , what’s the point!
I look forward to 3D printing this lol
I wonder if .300 Blackout is short enough to work with this plate
Nope. Ive tried a bunch of different things with making the small and large pistol plates taller and it never worked out. Small rifle plate is still the goto.
@@CorwinBos the small rifle plate with the gate slid over about 1/2, way runs 100% for me.

Live ammo in the brass bucket...🤨
Another epic waste of money in the gun world, just what we needed.
You know there's a simple solution to your problem... just don't buy it. 🤷♂️

This is for rollsizing.

I could 3d print that.... :)
Yes, is a link in thingiverse
@Corwin Bos go for it.
17% Faster !!!!!
Take my money!
Show me the reloader that outruns his factory feeder…. Rather buy a few bags of brass and bullets
My factory Dillon case feeder cannot keep up with my rollsizer so this plate is nice to have.
@@PhillipDRobinson reloading and running a rollsizer are two very different applications
Just use the Dillon case feeder. This is a waste of money.
Turbo is not 20%
Turbo is 100% more at least
