The tab is on the left inside edge of the metal plate on the case feeder ....not the top...../ but even on short cases - adjusting that tab still works to fix the problem.

Yes, Dillon changed the shape of the funnel at the top of the case feeder a few yrs ago ...and if its the funnel that is causing the issue / they'll probably send you the new part -- but I think the reason they revised the shape was to get the short cases, like 9mm, to feed into the tube ...in the old style shape - they had a tendancy to roll sideways as they dropped out of the feeder plate and into the funnel ...and then 6 or 8 cases would jam at the top of the feed tube where it narrows ....
