Brian, it will vary with how far down the feed plate is adjusted from the bottom of the feed hopper. Further down (away) from the hopper and it will throw more food.
The correct way to measure the distance is a royal PITA. You measure from the bottom of the hopper to the bottom of the flat part of the spin plate. With the lip on the spin plate, it is very hard to measure.
Just a FYI. I used a trash bag to catch and with Texas Hunters feeder and plate set at factory, it still threw 8oz in 6 seconds for the Optimal. Same amount/weight as the AM 500 in 6 seconds. I thought it would be less, but I still have about 25% AM500 mixed in, so not 100% sure, but will check again when all the AM500 is out.
