I finally got to try out the Lyman Digital Powder system this weekend and I LIKE IT!!. Set it up on a side table next to my reloading bench. Started with all brass already primed. Loaded some 270's, Changed powder and loaded some 45-70's. So the loads were not small. 57 grs of H4831 and 55 gr of H4198. Push the button and by the time I seated and crimped the bullet the next batch would be ready. Checked it closely several times with my beam scale and just as advertised it was never off by more that .1 grs and most of the time it was right on.

That's great...looks like Santa will be bringing me one too :-D Was it hard to change out the powders with it? I read somewhere that you basicly have to dismantal the whole thing.......

From several sources, I have read some conflicting stories about results. I was thinking of buying one of the electronic scales too. But have not decided on one yet. Also there are several makes and models on the market to choose from. Since the Lyman is quite costly it is time well spend to investigate. Fred M.
