Does that about every 3rd or 4th throw, but if I put it to trickle at .5 it wont even trickle.
Its quite a plasticy heap of shit really, quite annoyed but I'm not sending it back to the states, at least mine works sometimes though!
Also just snapped my lee turret press after about 80 loads. Not having very good luck with reloading crap.

Id use NZ post. Mainfreight is ridiculous these days.Quote:

I just typed in 5kg, 36x32x48cm and it spat out $83.
Thats the exact size of the box that my chargemaster was shipped in, dunno about weight but have a go on it

This is certainly not a new issue with the RCBS line of auto-tricklers. I bought the RCBS auto trickler and scales when they first hit Sportways GunShed over 10 years ago. I noticed that I had this same problem with the slow trickler spout sometimes. It would faintly hum and tick, but there was no rotation on the slow spout so the charge never reached the desired setting. A full power reset and re-calibrate of trickler and scales would sometimes cure it. Weeks could pass and I'd flash the thing up and it would shit out 200 loads without an issue. Then weeks later, I'd go to use it again and have the problem. I wondered if it was moisture affecting the circuit, but on opening, found the circuit board is laquered and there were no signs of corrision or dry-joints etc. I just live with it.

I take it that that is not the power sorce that came with it?Quote:

Aparently the max draw is only around 250 ma which would be about right, Its not a very big motor in it.
I run the jaycar 9.0v 1.66A model. Just incase haha.
