I have Optimal LMB feed in my feeder now. (not the Hand Throw) and I have my spin plate adjusted so none of the pellets get jammed between the bottom of the hopper and the spin plate. (approximately 3/8" gap or a hair less) If I am throwing Optimal Bluegill I will adjust the gap so that it's roughly 5/16". If I am throwing a mixture of LMB and BG pellets, I leave the gap at 3.8" but drop the feed time per event down a second or two from what I'd have it set if I was throwing straight LMB feed. BUT that time is for my fish in my pond, other ponds will be different depending on how the fish respond to the feed.

The feeders come from the factory set at approximately 5/16" gap.
