          Low powder sensor is kinda useless
          Low primer sensor rules

          Do the shell plate bearing mod right away.

                Almost forgot, you will almost for sure need to adjust the indexing pawl so its super smooth, even with cases almost full of powder it won't cause spillage.

                I used to have a link on how to do this but it's pretty easy. I'll try and find it.

                EDIT: found it. Scroll down about half way and view the pic:

                See the black indexing block? You can move that side-to-side. You want the indexer to push the shell plate all the way forward however you still want to let the ball bearing determine the final resting place of each index. So basically adjust it as much as you can without pushing the index past the ball bearing.

                I also cut like 1 coil off the spring below the ball bearing, way too much pressure on the shellplate and caused snapping no matter what.

                          I am not a "loaded" kind of guy, but I love my Strong Mount, Bullet Tray, Empty Case Bin, etc. etc. Everytime I buy something from Dillon my expectations are exceeded.

                            Case feeder and if you do rifle, the RT1200 case trimmer.

                              Looks like you are reloading rifles, you might want to pick up a swager.
