[QUOTE="squeeeeze, post: 2447913, member: 34065"] Had some time to set mine up last night. Mine came programmed too. I started out with Accurate 2230 which is a very fine ball powder, almost dust. Figured it would be the most challenging. Se everything up as per the manual. Calibrated the powder 1st and small tube motor seemed to stop on time but just continued to drift up after. Didn’t see any powder falling after but is tiny. Set at 100 grains and would drift upwards of 100.80 Grn. Slowly. Once cup was put back on it would read up to -.30. Calibrated scale itself with the included 100gm weight, reprogrammed it and tried for a couple hours with same results. After I calibrated the 2230 powder I did check the settings tab and tilted scale up in front to have the small tube throw between .10-.20 (.16) grns. as recommended in manual. Running out of time I switched to the large kernel RL23. Was a night and day transition between the powders. It did great and was fast. It didn’t drift after the powder was thrown and was right at .00 or +-.02 once cup was returned. I don’t think I’ll have any issues as most of my powder is kernels. I haven’t used the 2230 in a few years but was with my RCBS Chargemaster and didn’t have any issues. No biggie though I guess. Next time I use it I’ll probably just use a powder throw for bulk .223/.556 [/QUOTE]
