OK, I'm sold. So I brought one home, warmed it up and loaded some .223 REM.

Each load (25.5g of TAC) was ready for me before I had completed seating the bullet for the previous load. It seemed to be giving me 25.6 grains, which I verified with my old scale. Close enough since that's well below the max for this load (55g Jacketed Montana Gold Bullet).

I made record time.

I also tried running some VARGET thru it, and didn't have the .1 grain overage. I'm guessing it has to do with the size of the powder granules... just can't shut down quick enough for the TAC.
