running out of powder is plausible... running out of shot and not recognizing it... serioulsy?

A clever and useful item to some, others not.
Before I load the third primer tray , I top off the powder and shot as needed.
I use a P/W 800 Plus with Autodrive

I could have used that when reloaded 2 1/2 boxes of shells on the Spolar without powder…….uuugh

Running out of powder or shot is an embarrassing, rookie mistake!

I have modifed two Dillon low powder sensors for use on the shot and powder tubes on my Spolar. In the good old days these devices used a mechanical buzzer. The new ones all seem to use electronically created tones. Even with my hearing aids I cannot hear these tones. One of the Dillon's (the one on the shot) I can hear. I saw a sensor on the Alpha Dynamics website so I took a chance and ordered one. It attaches with a soft rubber strap. It has a tone which I cannot hear but it has a very bright flashing red light when the powder gets low. Works very well. It has a vibration sensor so when you stop reloading it will shut itself off. The Double Alpha site is a pain to navigate so here is the link to the sensor.

DAA Infra-Red Low Powder Sensor

The DAA Infra-Red Low Powder Sensor is an efficient, high-tech solution to a problem every reloader has encountered: Making sure to fill that powder hopper in time, before you accidently load empty cases without powder… (don’t feel stupid, we’ve all done it…) ...

Thanks for the heads-up. Tried to order several times but the website just goes dark and leaves a weird message. Can't find them anywhere else.
