well guys i decided to give the hornady auto comp scale one more try. first one i ordered would not calibrate or even give any weight, promptly sent it back for a refund.
second one arrived sunday, unpacked it and it was D.O.A. did some diagnoses and found the power supply was dead. did some looking thru drawers and found a 9v power supply, pluged it in and it fired right up.
made a call to Hornady warranty and a new power supply is on the way. while i had them on the phone i asked about the free bullet promotion (rebate) advertised on midway. turns out the only way you can get it is an elaborate path you have to follow with a smart phone and scans and pictures you have to download. when i pointed it out to her i don't have a smart phone she basically said to bad there is no other way and she was rude. Free isn't free if you have no way to get free if you get my point and the free bullet selection sucks.
