[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2634799, member: 95733"] Bought a PACT powder dispenser and scale back in the late 1990's. Bought it because I was reloading a lot more CF rifle and stick powders and my drum powder dispensers were no where near accurate enough for me. The PACT's advertised accuracy is +/- 0.10 grains and after having dispensed literally countless 10's of 1000s of powder charges with and using either or both a 505/1010 BB scale checking an average of 25% of those their accuracy claims proved correct about HALF of the time but half of the time it's accuracy was never higher or worse than 0.20 grains. and that was with my biggest charge of 80 grains of H1000 for my 7mmstw. I have since the day I bought it trickled the powder charge to with in <1-1.5 grains then using a manual powder trickler and my BB scale got the powder charge up to my desired weight. Oddly my PACT system always at least 95% of the time threw charges 0.5-1 grains lite but rarely if ever heavy. Will admit it is finally beginning to have more deviation in its accuracy but still is very useful and saves me a ton of time. The fact I have been able to achieve sub MOA accuracy with all my CF rifle reloads tells me it does well enough for my accuracy needs. I called PACT and asked about getting it re-calibrated and updated to a faster powder dispensing system they said just send it in they will likely just send my their newest model. I have no other electronic powder dispenser to compare it to but I have been absolutely satisfied with it. Love to buy an A&D FX120i but at this time can not justify the cost. [/QUOTE]
