Hornandy auto charge vs FX120

[Steel head]

So I threw 50 charges on the Hornandy and tuned them with the FX120.
Approximate numbers
3- perfect charges
4- .04-.06 under
25- .02-.06 over
10- .08-.10 over
6- .12-.16 over
2- .16-.20

Generally I’m able to get realistic 6-8 SD’s in 7 saum and 260 with the Hornandy so it will be interesting with all 50 within .02 grains

Corrected,,,,

On your last readings, do you mean .16-.20? rather than .016-.020?

That pretty good, I always read that the hirnady was kinda crap. Guess people just don't know wtf they are doing with the settings.

It’s biggest issue is excessive over charges and I cured that with settings and a insert.

Interestingly I did weight the couple overcharges I got and the they were in the pass range.

I'm fairly convinced like 99% of this stuff is user error. I got my Frankford intellidropper, and after I figured out how to use it and set it up properly, I have had zero charging issues. Took some time, but all this stuff is within the margin of error of all of my measuring equipment.
