Oli wanted me to keep him updated on this unit, so instead of running another thread off topic, i figured i would start anew
Although I've yet to do any reloading with it, I did take it to the bench and just play with it a little this evening.
Obviously it functions just like what you can see on any youtube video, I didnt get too deep into various functions, just set it on the bench, plugged it in, and started reading the instruction card. Did a calibration, and grabbed a few random projectiles from my stock to weigh. all weighed witin .1 grain respectively. Nosler 55 grain, Hornady 55 grain, and Armscor 62 grain. Just for gits and shiggles i set my cheapy Lee beam balance to 55 grain, and put a Nosler 55 on it, dead on. I put some 4064 in the Hopper of the Hornady, and set a target weight, 24 grain, hit the dispense button and let it do its thing. When it slows down to the trickle function its very slow, like an eighth of a rotaion at a time. basically one kernal of powder every few seconds. Its very good at hitting the target weight though. No slower than throwing a charge, and trickling into the scale. I would just dump the pan back into the hopper and set it back to let it auto charge again. Probably did this about 10 times, with only 1 over weight, but when i hit the enter button to read the weight it was dead on. I played with a few tenths each direction of 24 grain, just to see consistency, then set the target into the 80's, function was no different accept it ran a long time. Thats a lot of powder though. Metered consistent charges, consistently. After i was satisfied with function, i turned it to the side, opened the valve, and drained my powder back into the can. I will say i was a litle surprised how much hung in the hopper, due to static. It took a fair amount of jiggling, tapping, shaking, and poking with my finger to get all the kernels to fall through.
Aside from the cleanup i think its going to be a great addition to the loading bench. Ill update further as necessary.
