Hornady LNL Powder Cop vs Sure Guard Lock-Out die

[omgb]

So, I had to bite on the Sure Guard Lock-Out die. Took about 15 minutes to read the instructions and set up the die. The good:
1. It works!
2. It looks Slick
3. It will save you from a double charge of a zero charge
4. You don't have to watch it.

The Bad:
1. It costs more than a powder cop
2. It will not let you know if you are a few grains off
3. That dang wire gets in the way
4. You'll have to fiddle with the measure to get everything to clear and move in harmony

The deal is, with a powder cop I can tell if my load is .2 grains off IF I'm using the same brass. Mixed lots are not so easy. I have it now and I'll keep it but if you are wondering if that electrified die is worth it....I'd say no.

I have all three and like them.

I guess it’s moot anyway since Hornady no longer sells the die as a stand alone product
