Got a Dterminator recently, I had heard from some reliable sources that these were a great electronic scale. I have an older RCBS electronic, but thought I deserved an upgrade.
I was using the Dillon other day in the same manner I used my RCBS , which is to dump a load from a powder throw a grain or 2 light then trickle the weight up to the spec I want. Well I would trickle a fair number of granules of powder and the reading would not change, so checked the weight on my old RCBS , and found I was 3 grains or more over what I needed.
I naturally assumed that there was a problem with my scale, I followed all the instructions , to no avail.
Next day called Dillon and was told that the Dterminator scale would not accept trickled in powder, just weighed the "burst" from the weight of the powder "dumped" into the pan.
Is it me or is this really odd? How many guys would spend the money for an electronic scale that works in this manner?
Any feedback would be welcomed.
