Accurate to .1 of a grain

I use mine for IMR powders, that dont throw well thought my Dillon powder thrower. Allows me to keep a consistent pace loading on my single stage press. As new reloader, it is a good tool to help maintain accuracy, & consistency in loading. Easy to clean, & maintain, & use.

Very Compact

I'm a casual reloader. I've also a small table that I work from, so this fits the bill. In my use to this point, I've used h110, zip, and imr3031. It has metered very well these, and most of the time it measures .1 gr low, when not spot on - and never over. I've been cleaning it per the manual by removing the threaded tube to clean it out, but I think that I'll just tilt the unit to clean this tube of residual powder, and I think folks could make the job of cleaning simpler this way. Bottom line is that I do recommend it if you need an accurate, compact auto dispenser with basic feature.
