There's another thread on here about them. I've been using one for a couple years now, no issues. I hear the v2 ones are easier to use, but don't own one so can't say for sure. - dan

Ok so I bought a Frankford Intellidropper , downloaded the app and started entering my reload info and I enter I’m using .270 cal. For the bullets I enter Hornady but then it gives me the options of .277/6.17 , 6.18 , 6.19 or 6.20 how do I know which one of the 4 do I pick .

I don't use the app. Perhaps those bullet weights in grams? - dan

ok so just to give an update on the Frankford I was finally able to to some loads with it and out of 66 rounds that I have done I have had 6 that were over and 2 that were under , with that being said I won’t complain and it was a good buy .

You just answered your own question.

There are exceptions but for the most part - FA is low quality crap.

Im still in love with mine after 6 yrs use, many hundreds of rounds with prob 5 or 6 over-pours and never any "unders"....Much better than my old Lyman.

on both over and under it would go to the set charge then bounce back and forth from the .2 up to .3 after it would say stable and the on the under charge , now with saying that its was probably nothing that would make any difference either way but I would dump that charge and redo it .

Any electric devices near it? I know when I put a small fan beside mine it throws it off. - dan

No and I just built a bench for my reloading as it’s solid no movement in it

If it's a new version you should be fine. The first version had significant failures and ended up getting pulled from shelves due to warranty replacements being way to frequent. I haven't heard anything bad about the V2's
