[QUOTE="gray wolf, post: 303201, member: 15129"] This is a good thread and perhaps I can add a little. I have a new C/M combo. There are some things I like and some I don't--could be I am doing something wrong and need some help. I load for my 270 win. and use IMR and H 4831 powder. I found that it was difficult to use in my uniflow powder dropper. It would cut the powder and I had to trickle it into the pan on the beam scale in order to get the exact load I wanted. ( not close but right on ). I was getting over charges from the CM on the last trickle mode-- not being able to drop one piece of powder at a time. One piece of h4831 will move my beam scale and two kernels will almost go over a 1/10 of a grain. After putting the straw in the end of the tube it helped a-lot. My big problem is this--I turn the machine on --warm it up--Cal. and zero the pan. Now There are time that 20 or 30 loads will be dead on with the beam scale. Wow great--but other times all things equal the CM will be 1/10 over on every charge--so much so I have to punch in the charge at one tenth less and that gets it right on again. I have also had it drop two tenths over. My load is 51.5 grains of powder not 51.7 or 51.3. What I don't understand is why is it so darn accurate at times and then it is off by a consistent 1/10 (heavy--never light ) Sometimes it will be dead nuts on for 20 charges and then start the one tenth over thing again. I could use some help with this question. When it is working I find it to be a blessing. It drops a charge for me in about 25 Sec. I take the powder and put it into the pan for the beam scale place it on the beam and confirm the charge. then it goes into the case. I can do that in less time that it takes for the next charge to be ready on the CM--so I don't feel I am wasting time. I truly like the unit and it has made reloading more fun. I can load 60 rounds an hour of 270 ammo with no problem. It's just that over charge thing that bugs me and I wont dump a charge without confirming it--as in I don't fully trust it. GW. [/QUOTE]
