Anyone buy one yet?

I am thinking about it, but I have yet to see one in person.

I have a POS Lyman auto dispenser with digital scales.

Looking to get way more accurate.

I am going to send the Lyman back to Lyman for refurb when we get back to the states. What a huge POS it is.

MOA,
I know this isn't what you are looking for, however the LEE Automatic Powder Measures are great. Very smooth.

I have a Lyman 2000. I haven'[t used it since I got the LEE. The Lee throws a very consistent charge and I then put it on the scale and trickle to weight. Much faster than my Lyman.

I have one. I love it, but keep in mind it is a trickler, not a powder throw or charger. It can trick faster by turning the large knob and trickle slower by turning the small knob. As far a a powder trickler, nothing I have used comes close in comparison. A great tool


Thanks,
Steve

Ok.

My problem is the Lyman digital power thrower/scale I have throws too much powder then not enough. It is inaccurate as all get out.

I am shooting the 6.5x47 in F-Class matches and it is a pain in the ass to get consistant loads.

+1 Rusty, very smooth and repeatably accurate.

It's cool

So many of the Lee products just flat work!

I also have the lee powder measure. Once I got it set, I thought my scales were broken. Great Buy!

I don't think we are on the same page.

I need 1000 yard consistency where a deviation of 20 FPS is a miss.

Sorry, that's not quite what I meant.

I shoot a lot. Burn out 1-3 barrels a year on a 6.5x47 Lapua.

The Lyman worked great when I got it, now it throws too large a deviation to deal with.

I have a couple of different power throwers and none are accurate enough to do what I need to do.

I am intrigued by the Hornady quick trickle as I think it might solve a lot of my problems in speed.

I can use the power measure to throw a charge and end up within a couple grains low.

Then quick trickle it in.

I have a RCBS and Hornady normal trickler. Too slow.
