[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 639128, member: 25383"] My first electronic scale was an RCBS 750 (a Pact), and it was one the the very first generation scales the average guy could buy. Worked just fine with a fifteen minute warm up. It was stolen from me. Bought the samething again, but this time from Pact. This one was a couple generations later in software alone, and is much better yet. Later in a trade I come into a nearly new Pact with the inferred port. Have used it a couple times and seems even smoother in operation. Then I bought a new Pact BBK for use at the range. All are quick enough for anything I do, but the BBK seems a little more sensitive in the hot mid day sun at the range. I did manage to super scramble the software in the second one, and called Pact about it. They coached me thru a complete reboot on the phone, and then called me back in a couple days to see if all was still going well. I still don't know what I did to cause the problem (it would not completely reboot the software in the scale on start up). For all I do the RCBS 750 worked just fine for me, but like I said I moved on. The dealer I bought the RCBS off of was high on the Lymans at the time, and returned 75% of them for repair. I know a couple guys that use the Dillons, and seem to be a pretty good scale. Another pair of guys I know bought the blue one Midway sold a few years back, and one had trouble and the other probably is still using his. They all can fail in the right condition, and the same will go with just about anything. I'm going to build a box for the BBK that has tinted Plexiglass walls and top. gary [/QUOTE]
