Ok, thank you ! I love that FX. Now I realize just how slow reloading was before the FX.

Go to a place that does countertops and ask for a piece of scrap granite. If they don’t have that, Corian is a good substitute. You can usually get the cut out from the hole they make for sinks for free, or a few bucks. It will insulate the balance from any vibration.

Good info, but you should be using a tweezers or hemostat type tool to pick up the weight and set it on the scale. Oil from your skin will add weight and make the calibration weight out of spec. I use to calibrate lab scales and you don't touch the calibration weights ever with your bare hands.

Where/how are you setting your total charge weight? On the scale or by tuning the trickled? I would assume you set the scale for the desired charge weight?

maxpowerdog you dispense and trickle the initial charge manually then press print button and the scale remembers and repeats till you hit stop.

Joe Ambartsumyan How do you hit stop?

raythemanroe if you look in the video, I’ve used a red and green sharpie to mark the start and stop buttons. Mode is stop and print is start.

Joe, is that ebay seller ok? does it show up reasonable quick coming from china?

@joeambartsumyan7259 6 жыл бұрын

Austin Marshall plenty of people have ordered from him based off my recommendation and they have all received it in a reasonable time frame. Takes about 1.5 weeks to get.

You are calibrating for 100 grains but your little grey pants is on there. Wouldn't that add to the 100gr & cause your calibration to be off?

@joeambartsumyan7259 5 жыл бұрын

No because you zero the scale with the pan. The pan is invisible to the scale at that point.

How do you calibrate without a calibration weight.

Typo.. "grey pan"...

Thanks I was looking to get the RCBS Chargemaster but I am not convinced that is the best bang for the buck especially from the accuracy point of view. Thanks again also for your great video.
