That's what they do. Happened to my parents after too many (3) tows. They had a car problem the dealer struggled to repair properly.

I have been running Windows 11 for several months. I don't find anything new except they have moved things around, made the right click context menus more difficult to use, improved the Store, and impacted gaming performance about 5% (from what I read - I think Tom's Hardware).

Thats great send me the $300 and I might try electronic. But I really don't fully trust electronics,I use them out of necessity.
I haven't shot much since the 1980s never shot in competitions . Im have no need to weigh my cases, I now shoot for fun, Never shot a .50 Cal. and don't want to.
Thanks for the "good luck" but there is no luck involved with my reloading. BTW I'll be 82 in a few weeks.


I think I can find better things to spend $300 on than give it to you. I would agree that electronic scales could more easily go out of calibration and necessitate periodically using check weights. I am an Electrical Engineer so electronics are my business, or were prior to retirement. BTW: I'm 78.
You've missed out by never shooting in competition. I loved shooting Sporting Clays and International Handgun Silhouette. The 500NE was for an African hunt. The 50BMG wasn't much fun as I had to travel some distance to shoot at more than 300 yards (just getting started for a 50BMG). Sounds like you are happy shooting your 25-20.
The "Good Luck" wasn't about reloading. I intended it to mean wishing you enjoyment in your reloading/shooting hobby. You don't sound like a very cheerful person.

The only electronic scale I saw that I would use was over $300, my old beam scale works just fine.
I loaded for many years, and calibers you probably never heard of, I got out of it in the 1990s so I do know what is going on.
As far as jumping into the modern world I have jumped as far as I'm going to.


The RCBS Chargemaster is a great scale but if purchased with the dispenser, it is arpund $300. I purchased mine without the dispenser but not sure they are sold that way now. It really does make things easier, particularly if you are separating cases by weight. I doubt that you know of any cartridges that I don't know of. i used to be a cartridge collector and had an extensive collection of American and metric cartridges. I have shot in competitions from NRA Bullseye to Benchrest, etc. I have owned everything from .17 Remington to .500NE and 50 BMG. I still shoot every week. I handload everything I have owned except rimfire and 22TSM.
Good luck with your reloading, it's a fun hobby in itself.

i have reloaded many many different calibers in my life. I would suggest you look at the Lyman dies (I believe they are "M" dies) that are especially designed for loading lead bullets in rifle calibers. Also, get an electronic scale and jump into the modern world. RCBS makes a nice one.

SSDs do get fragmented, but you are correct in that you should not defragment them. The read time to put the fragments together is infinitesimal, and defragmenting an SSD does result in unnecessary reads and writes, which in theory can shorten its life, though SSDs are becoming more durable over time.


Yes they do get fragmented but it's meaningless.

SSDs don't get fragmented. Do not defrag a SSD! It will cause a lot of unnecessary writes. The boot drive is most likely becoming smaller due to temporary files from web surfing, updates, etc.

I don't understand why your post would "upset" anyone. What is the problem?

If a 32" monitor is satisfactory, it would be much better than a tv. They can be purchased reasonably.

In a little over 20 years I have lost one Seagate and one Western Digital drive. I wouldn't think it would make any difference but each was part of a RAID 1 array. I have also had an Adata SSD go bad and one stick of Corsair RAM. Devices do go bad.
