Hatzi Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Contact the importer and ask nicely. I switched to the Hornady one and after 19 months thats going a bit funny too now. I wont deal in them any more, i have a 50% failure rate now not including my own hornady one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bri2506 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Was going to go for a RCBS but couldn't get one at the time. And couldnt be bothered waiting. Lesson learnt, saying that they aren't without problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pork chop Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 my advice is to throw it in the bin and forget you ever owned it.on my third one now all warranty replacements been in the cupboard now for two years unused just dont trust it one bit.buy yourself a set of 1010's and a lee thrower and your well away and nearly as quick as the lyman at half the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wipe the scales and bench with some of the anti static sheets that you use in a tumble dryer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bri2506 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Just tried to wipe it down with anti static wipes and still the same. I can't get through to optics warehouse which is where I bought. Think it's time to put it out as a 500 yard target for 25-06. I loaded some with a powder despencer and tricked up to load with my RCBS 750 scales and was surprised how fast it was. Might just go to RCBS comp powder thrower and trickle up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just go to RCBS comp powder thrower and trickle up A competition powder thrower and a trickler?? Why a "competition" thrower if you are going to trickle loads onto a beam scale? Save your money. Get a standard volumetric measure if you are going to trickle them anyhow. You only need enough precision to get you close. I've used Lee dippers to get that initial chare on the scale pan before trickling. It all ends up the same.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
