The markup on some things are just a joke and pretty greedy IMHO.

I agree. Just a vicious circle though unfortunately, not a big enough market for them to compete here, and then we buy overseas making the market that much smaller. My money though.

How long would you estimate something like this to take to make say 100 rounds?

think about the hassle of shipping if you need warranty repairs too. cheaper than chargemaster.

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...

There is always the McDs straw upgrade. I have this on my RCBS and it seldom goes over weight, even with stick powder.

It throws an accurate charge 95-100 times at a guess, and as fast as I can tip in the powder and seat a projectile.

I can get 2 of mine at Natchez for the price of one here and shipping would take about as quick.

Lyman Gen 5 Digital Electronic Powder System (Scale)

These r awesome but expensive. Fast reloading . We weighedvheaps of them accurate as But buy one with a mate or two is the ticket !!

Must say i'm a fussy bastard and ive had a good run out of my hornady

I've got a hornady lock n load. Very happy with it, but the time I've charged and seated a projectile, I'm ready for the next one

Sometimes its 0.1 gn low. In that case I trickle in 0.1 of a grain using my powder trickler.

Now that you mention it I don't recall mine going over. It is always under by .1
I haven't had a powder trickler for over 10 yrs.
Good idea tho in should get another.

Same here. It's always under not over. And that's a good thing.

You can trickle more in ... But if it's over you have to tip it back into the hopper

Any reason not to buy this model?

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

@veitnamcam you end up going down this route? be keen to hear how you found it.

Also price with shipping and from where yadda yadda yadda
