Back on black Friday Midway had this for a very cheap price. And my RCBS chargemaster stopped working on the keypad. So I figured this would work for now. Maybe???
Today was the 2nd time using it. I filled the hopper with powder and turned the scale on to warm up. So I was going to load some blaster slug loads for the 12ga. So I rounded up some 1x fired Rem Premiers in green color. I use these only for slugs. That way I do not get confused as to what is in them. I sized and primed 25 hulls and the scale should be warmed up
I connected the hopper to my phone as it works better than the touch screen on the unit. It has a hard time seeing my fingers for some reason. It works perfect if the old lady trys it. So I type in 24gr and off it goes. Then it slowed down to what is in the following video.
I emptied the hopper thinking something got hung up. Nope. It is stuck doing this in the video. I tried to put powder back into it and do Powder Calculate but it just does not change speeds like it is supposed to. I unplugged it so the power drains out of the board. I will ground out the power plug on the unit before I plug it back in. That will get rid of whatever power is still being stored in the unit. Same thing you can do to reset the computer in your car. Unhook the pos and touch it to the neg post.
Too frustrated to deal with it tonight, I also spilled about a 1/4 bottle of green dot. Then the drive belt got too loose and blew off the cogs in about a 2" section on my little lathe.
