Works great!!!

I dont reload very fast but this sure speeds up measuring powder it dose over and under pour sometimes but its fast enough i just pour it back and wait for another. Im using varget powder so its not very easy for it to be consistent. Im very satisfied with how it dose pour and when you put the tray back it pours another, when you have it in auto mode.

Lyman Gen6

Very accurate. After 250 loads, never more than 0.1 grains off. Loading IMR4064. Instructions easy to understand. Took about 10 minutes to read instructions and get the unit ready to go. The auto load function is very nice.

Speedy

I reload for competitive shooting and testing new rifle builds. The Gen 6 is very fast and accurate. I use the grams mode quite often and it easily measures to the nearest 1/100th. Not necessary to for everyone to measure that close. The machine is very easy to clean so you can change powders quickly. Lyman home run.
