Thread: Lyman gen 5 Electronic powder system quick question

Hi @kiwi39


It throws the whole charge into the pourer from start to end. The tube rotates and automatically slows down to finish the charge
You set the weight and push the button and out it comes. It then checks the weight and beeps to say ok or
flashes error on screen if weight incorrect. The 243 bullets we reloaded I think I was putting powder in 3 or 4 per minute.
The machine does not like external vibrations as it will drop more powder out than measured and then post error
It also does not like being in a windy area for same reasons. Its pretty sensitive which is probably good as its accurate.
I tested probably 30 pours on our other digi scales and they were all spot on.
First run we did 130 rounds. Cases had been prepped earlier. To set up press and measure the the OAL using modded cartridge then
load all took just under an hour for two of us. This was also reading instructions and setting up and getting used to the machine.

Cheers Happy
