Title: Chargemaster 1500 help
Post by: Crunchy on June 12, 2019, 07:48:33 PM
Ok stupid draw if done.  Back to reality.

I have been using my chargemaster 1500 for years.  A month or two ago I was calibrating it.  You have two 50 grain brass weights that you put on the scale one, and then the other.  So after it calibrates that 100 grains I removed both weights.  I placed the 50 grain one back on the scale and it read 77 grains  :yike:  I zero the scale and then placed the same weight back on and it read the same.. How is this possible.  I looked at the directions to see if there was some kind of reset but didn't find one.  Went through the entire calibrate procedure twice more and same results.  What am I missing??????

When your calibrating it’s in grams not grains, each of the weights are 50grams. After your calibration is completed your scale switches automatically from grams to grains.

Well to reply to my own thread, I weighed a 168 grain bullet and it was exact.  So I do not know what those brass weights are supposed to weigh but it isnt what they are marked as.

Smart man Jason.  That is a good thing I should have caught.

You’re not the first to have that issue, I have a buddy who had the same problem once or twice :chuckle: every now and then he still forgets about it until he throws a weight on there and has a brief heart stoppage..lol

Far left button on your scale let’s you manually switch from grams to grains.
