[QUOTE="woods, post: 324367, member: 6042"] What many do not know or have not taken the time to learn is that the 1500 is a highly accurate powder THROWER. IOW after calibrating (it comes with 2 ea 50 gr weights) then set it to THROW a little lower; .4 gr with stick powders like IMR4831, .3 gr with short cuts like RL22 or .1 gr lower with ball powders like H380. For instance in this set of pics I want to load 60 gr RL22, so I set the dispense to 59.7 gr [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0146.jpg[/IMG] after the machine runs and beeps, WAIT 5 SECONDS, and it will display the exact amount dispensed, in this case 59.9 gr [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0148.jpg[/IMG] It is then a simple thing to dislodge a couple of granules from the end of the tube to get exactly what you want [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v663/bwestfall/RELOADING/DSCN0150.jpg[/IMG] The main thing is that EVERYTIME after calibrating my pan weighs EXACTLY 155.0 gr, after rezeroing and when I pick the pan up to load the powder in the case the readout reads -155.0 gr EXACTLY EVERYTIME. When I set the empty pan back on the machine it rezero's EVERYTIME for the past 3 years through 1000's of loads. Another thing is that when I finish charging the cases I am through seating the bullets because I seat the last case while the dispenser is going and have the next one set up in the press. Saves a lot of time. I wouldn't be without the 1500. [/QUOTE]
