Frankford arsenal intelli-dropper - Frankford Arsenal Reloading Tools F/a Powder Measure Digital Powder Intelli-dropper

I have had this scale for about 2 years. In that two years I probably loaded around 6000 rounds of pistol up to magnum rifle loads using the intelli-dropper. Every thing from 5 grains of Tightgroup to 85 grains of IMR 4831. I have had no problems with this machine. I have had some over charges as you would with any powder dispenser. I have read reviews that state emptying the powder reservoir is a pain and they are correct. When finished loading I will have the machine empty 150 grains of powder at a time until I can see the shaft inside the container. Then I place the lid that comes with this unit under the powder emptying spout to catch the remaining powder. No big deal. I don't fill the powder container up to much anyway so it is easier to empty. This scale has always been accurate. The touch screen is responsive and easy to see. It does drift a little. When this occurred I would zero it and wait. Waiting too long and it starts to drift again. I now just zero it and press the GO button to dispense the powder. I will check every other weight with a beam scale 5-6 times and then switch to an electronic scale to make things go a little quicker. I have read people stating that they received one that was DOA. I have also read that people received DOA machines from other manufacturers. Well, they are probably all made at the same factory in China. I would say, keep returning it until you get a good one, no matter which one you purchase.
