After searching this forum and others I'm pretty close to buying a 1500 Combo; but after talking to a guy out at the range that has one I wanted to find out if other guys have had the same experience that he has.
He told me that it is not very well suited for loads under 25g (which is most of my reloading) because it spins up to 25g so quickly. My load is 24.5g of 748, and he was saying from his experience as it starts "thinking" about 24.5g, it will have already spit out 25+g. He did talk about possibly "tricking" the machine by setting up so that it is slightly out of level front to back, so that it goes to the trickle mode sooner. Anybody else experience this?
The calibers I load the most are:
.223 (2000+/yr)
.40 S&W (2000+/yr)
7mm Rem Mag (150+/yr)
.338 Win Mag (250+/yr)
My reason to purchase one is for the accuracy and saving the time of manually tricking in every charge.
