HOGRIDER Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 After my GemPro started dying, I decided to invest in one of the best for reloading! Have it calibrated and weighing fine; but would like to learn to use some of the more intense features. Not much on YouTube for this specific scale/balance. Any site or instructional blog recommendations? Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gempro died about 6 months ago. I got a FX-120I. Which is a huge upgrade over gempro (no more floating zero). I ordered the V3 auto trickler and auto throw about 2 months ago. I received it 2 weeks ago. Probably the best peice of reloading equipment I own. It simply just works. No tinkering no BS. Just plug it in, download the app and start loading. I just loaded a OCW, 3 rounds with 8 different charges in about 15-20 minutes. Thats including seating the bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGRIDER Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Saw a GemPro 250 for sale today in the classifieds.......made me think of my recent ordeal where I contacted HBI International -My Weigh about my failing GP250. And since they no longer make the GemPro line and can't honor the warranty, all I had to do was send them a copy of my original invoice and they are sending me a check for the full purchase price. Very satisfied with this outcome as every little bit will help to offset the cost of the FX-120i! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I ever start loading for precision rifle, I've got the perfect "balance" to add to. For some reason, I keep thinking there are some features of the unit that would benefit me for verifying .1g variances in ladder loads, etc.......... Thanks!

milanuk Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 It's a scale. Other than the ability to 'talk' to another device i.e. AutoTrickler, etc. there isn't much else *for* it to do. Some of this type of scale sometimes have counting functions - where you can weigh an individual item, and then a pile of them and it'll tell you how many are in said pile... but bullets/brass tend to be a bit too heavy and/or bulky for the scale's available range, and powder kernels too small/light, so...
