[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 2918183, member: 1521"] I believe the people developing this for RCBS pulled a slick one there. Somewhere in the programming there must be a routine to set the charge [U]display[/U] equal to [U]desired[/U], when the program decides that the charge is close enough to stop jogging (the charge is dispensed). This making it seem like dispensing is always right on the money. But when you disturb the pan, or otherwise allow it to read in simple scale mode, you see that an extra kernel or two might have fallen & put the charge over desired. It would have been better for us if the scale reading always stayed real, so that at the end of dispensing we would see how much error we might have. Then we could adjust the program settings for better if needed, with that particular powder. That less than ethical move of theirs messed us up, and it messed them up as well. How could they assume that reloaders are so dumb, that we would not check and see this going on? Now the CM is famously inaccurate, and everyone is modifying their units, opening the door for competition. I'm good with my RCBS CM, as I've modified. But I'm watching them fail to fix their product. Still sure that we are dumb.. [/QUOTE]
