    Hate searching shit.

    Lyman Gen 6 Compact Powder Measure System

    Any reason not to buy this model?

    Is this a good price for a NZ retailer with it in stock?

    Ah! Get it off sinclairs mate. That's a frigging rip off. Mine showed up within a week and was way cheaper than that.

    It is plasticky but works very well. So far happy with mine and faster than my Pact system, which I use in tandem with it.
    The dirt dart, kiwi39 has one as well.

    I have a sinclairs account and can order it for you if your worried about stuff.
    I have used them for years and never had a drama.
    Mine was plug n play.
    Easy to use and fast. The only thing I don't like or haven't found, is if it undercharges a throw you can't trickle it to measure like I can with my pact system.

    It has gone up in price a little from when I got mine.

    Do you have one? does it drift? does it perform as advertised.

    Was looking at lyman because most of my gear is and because @kiwigreg old one must have had litterally tons of powder threw it and is still going well

    No, mine is the Hornady version. I have one from Natchez (store name). I have brought a few things from them with no issues. This one is $199USD + ~$60USD shipping. Im guessing that will come to about $300NZD. I just used a US to NZ adapter plug that came with my cell phone and there are no dramas.

    Does it under or over charge often?

    Yep I have one. If you get it set up right it is good. If it throws over I pop that into the manual scales and adjust from there. Haven't noticed any drift and the loads are accurate enough for me to do okay in local gun club comps...
    It does throw over more often with powder that has long extruded grains but using the scales as well, it throws them as fast as I can seat bullets...

    I've got one too and it does the job really well . Coupla little foibles with it, few tricks , etc, but no showstoppers

    I got mine from Sinclairs as well. Their service has proven to be excellent.

    Until it warms up it may throw under or over .1 of a grain. I just dump it back in and push the button.
    I like it a lot. If it poos itself I can just buy a new one.
    I have thrown all types of powder including ASN-30 shotgun powder.
    It comes ready to go with correct plugs.
    Easy as and fast!
