I don't see much of a difference in performance, but I do feel and hear a difference between them when loading on my MEC 9000.
I use three different Down Range wads with my AA hulls. The 1 oz. DRA-12, 1oz. Jammer XL-1 and the 1 1/8oz WJ-12-RPL.
I use Claybuster 1 1/8oz CB3118-12A, and their 7/8oz clone to a WAA12L
The Down Range feels to have a little softer plastic, a little smoother or maybe a better word would be slippery. They make no sound as the pass through the wad guide fingers, the press feels no additional force when loading them. The Claybusters feel a little courser , a little stiffer plastic and I get a fairly loud double cracking sound as they pass through the wad guide. The press also seems to strain just a tiny bit more when I'm using the Claybusters.
Other than that observation I can't tell any difference from the 16 or 23 yd. line when shooting either one.
