Well count me out. Just went out to load up my rounds. Let my chargmaster warm up for 30 or so minutes filled it with powder and the damn throw arm won’t turn. Poured the powder out cleaned everything recalibrated threw an empty load just to make sure the arm would turn. It did but very slowly. Filled it back with powder and went to throw a charge. Nothing.... pushed the powder tube in pretty hard and it started turning but only threw 37.x grains and stopped. Will not auto trickle and will not manual trickle.
Looks like it’s going back to RCBS and I’m sitting at home Saturday lol. Good luck everyone you’ll need it, lots of good shooters coming.

The first choice is what I feel like doing right now but might void the warranty. I’ve read that RCBS is great with stuff even out of warranty so I’ll hold off smashing it just yet. I don’t even know where my beam scale is. I have a really good one, but I’m so pissed right now my loads would probably be all over the place. Also last time I switched scales before a match I got the nickname Ricky Bobby because I almost blew up my gun  once is enough for me.

That’s why I love this forum. Tim how long would it take to load them up? Trying to figure out logistics of coming to Prosper today or tomorrow.

The queen is trying to decide if she want to go with me or stay at the hotel. Her deciding question is, “is there a potty available?”
