Looks like a fantastic powder dispenser for those of us that load lots of ammo.
Got one on order, but was late to the party.
Anybody else order one?
 
I’ve been on the wait list for a while. That said, after I joined it the compatible powders were published. I use a decent amount of ball powders and I’m hoping they eventual program to those. I’ve emailed some questions without answers in recent months. I’m sure he’s busy getting it ready for market and excited to see how it ends up.
 
I'm working on one right now and have been for about 6 months that utilizes a time basis. It's not completely automated for digital scales but is completely automated for beam scales. You can used it for expensive digital scales or cheapo digital scales depending on your preference. The only difference with the digital scale is the main dispense of powder will get you very close then you'll have to bump to your setpoint. With a beam scale, just hit the cycle push button and it does it all for about $200. But what gets me is that the scale is $700 and the remaining items are $400, which is nuts. I understand that it's the best scale out there, but unless your competition shooting, is there really a need for it?

I actually just got one of the last FX-120s and I’m going to compare it with a few other scales in a few hours. If it does what I hope it does that answer may be “yes” for some.

That said it sucks they discontinued it and increased the price of the new one a bit.
 
$1100!!! good lawd.
This is definitely for people that shoot a lot. Between competitions and practice 500-1000 rounds a month, this makes sense. This thing is capable of 150-200 rounds an hour of precision rounds.
I would much rather spend time shooting than on the reloading bench.
