Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

A friend of mine has one of these for sale.
It's the Lyman 1200 DPS II .
The label on the box says that it's a factory reconditioned upgraded model.

Anybody got experience with one of these.
I like to ask around before I buy one.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin

The only bad thing I have heard is the time to dispense was a bit lengthy. Apparently they resolved the problems with the upgrade. Still might not be as fast an an RCBS but I've used neither so I don't have any 'real' imput

Thanks Bruce.
Every piece of info is appreciated.
I heard about the dispense time too.
Shouldn't be a problem though.
I'm a slow reloader.

Thanks for your input.

I think I will go and have a talk with a friend one of these days.
I might just buy this piece of reloading equipment.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Martin

I would like to get myself a chargemaster (RCBS) with the scale.......but then again I would like to get some time to myself to actually get to the range & do some shooting.

Been checking out the RCBS chargemaster too.
Found this one on E-bay.
The price seems to be reasonable, but the shipping costs and the 19% import tax our customs office charges makes the RCBS a bit too expensive.

I think I'll wait before buying one, but the Lyman is gaining territory.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Natchez is where I got my RCBS chargemaster and they have them now for a few pennies $280.

Rad.
I put Natchez on my favorites list.
Maybe I can buy one in the US after all.

Thanks.

I got mine a little over a year ago and they had them priced at $250 but were out of stock and when they got them in it was $279.95. One of the problems I see with it is when you use a fine ball powder like H110, you need a small brush to clean the dispense tube out.
