Will do. I press tare every so often when the scales are empty to stop auto off.

i load sucsessful for f class using a lee thrower from the aniversary kit. its the only piece of the kit i havnt upgraded. i did look at upgradeing it but the options were auto dispenser which i tried but have gone back and the other is a $500 or $600 harrels precision thrower. bottom line is your gonna have to weigh each charge anyway so why not just save some money by throwning a half grain low and trickling up. the lee will do that fine.

That sounds like common sense, but that shouldn't really come into it, rather we should be trying to coax him out of as much of his hard earned cash as possible, that's what shooting forums are about, isn't it.

I have a Hornady a Lee and a Redding, The lee is ok and can be really consistent until it isn't. When it throws an off charge it seems to be greater than either the Hornady or Redding by quite a margin. I really rate the Hornady value for money and have sold at least 6 to guys who use it to replace their Dillon measures on 550's etc.
