I have been shooting and hand-loading since the mid 1970's. While looking for an electric scale I found this forum. So I talked to Brian and bought the scale with the lifetime warranty. Prompt shipping, I am pretty happy. I am not a competitive shooter. But I do shoot several 1000 rds. a year. I am a member of several internet forums. I find that mostly I just lurk. I generally find that before I can type a reply, some one has said about what I would. Never typed a word in my life until well into my fifties, and got a computer.
