[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 612722, member: 25383"] I bought a Pact with plans on having it upgraded. One afternoon a few months back a friend asked me what it was, and I set it up. There was a slight learning curve, and once we got past that (I had to make a phone call to Pact to see what was wrong). Then we just dumped a bottle of 2015 in it as set the zeros. One tenth of a grain everytime. Then changed powders to H414, and recalibrated it. One tenth of a grain everytime. To set there and watch it measure powder, it was a tad slow. But when you intergrate a press in there it wasn't bad at all, and was usually waiting on me. Now with ball powders, I see no advantage. I can throw ball powder to one tenth of a grain everytime in my two throwers. But with 2015 it was much quicker and easier. I have not tried 4350 in it yet, but will one of these days if I don't send it back and have it upgraded. One thing I do like about it is the ease of changing powders and cleaning all the old left over powder out of it. The RCBS is probably better, but not $270 better. I picked mine up used for $65 with out a scale, and I already had a couple that would work with it. Plus it's got a made in USA sticker on it unlike the Chinese built ones. gary [/QUOTE]
