They are pretty nice but I prefer the ones we are running. Easier to switch loads on.

We run auto tricklers hooked to A&D medical scales. Easy to adjust charges etc. they have a new improved version for the big gun powders which will be nice.

You'd prolly have to pack a lunch to load a couple hundred pistol cartridges....
(I don't know this for sure but I'm betting..)

Yeah these aren’t for pistols. Normal people wouldn’t be able to hold the precision it’s reaching for. In the long range rifle game, it can be a game changer for time savings and accuracy. Even with the one I use, we are down to just about splitting the lat kernel. H50BMG is roughly .06 grains per kernel. And it drives me crazy when I land on a .02 over etc. sometimes I’ll just dump some out and let it run again hoping to get an odd size kernel and half the time it works to land on that perfect setting.

I've never seen a Prometheus in the flesh, but do have an A&D without the auto feed. I know what you mean about OCD kicking in and looking for those zeros and have a fat granule of powder ruining it. I've trained myself harshly to accept the .02 but it's a battle.
I somehow ended up with a lab grade Mettler/Toledo MFR balance and it only made the OCD worse. Between weighed charges, pointed bullets, and lots of brass prep it's amazing the potential for accuracy a good rifle has.

For sure. I even switched my Annealer because I didn’t think I’d get flames on the old one consistent from batch to batch. Switched to AMP so it’s always the same. It’s crazy how deep the rabbit hole gets!

I think this is more of a prairie dog town than a rabbit hole!
