I am wanting to buy a powder dispenser & was about to buy a Pact till I read the reviews on the unit. The Pact is very sensitive to Vibration & movement & has to be calibrated a lot. I Made a comment on a Reloading site about Products Made in China & was told it wasn’t a bad thing most are American owned companys. I ordered a Pact & Cancelled after reading the reviews, Now I guess I will wait till something good comes along if it ever does.

And I’d be willing to bet that both the RCBS and Hornady ( and probably the Lyman too), powder measures are made at the same factory in Communist Red China. Remember folks, these are the same people making counterfit Leupold rifle scopes,Rolex watches, etc.

I love how companies are copying someone else’s success these days.. They just wait out the efforts, and then ‘share’ the market with a counterfeit.
We should stop supporting products such as this.
Others similar:
Farley copies
Harris copies
Sinclair copies

It would be kind of nice if these product review’s included a mention of where they are made, or if not wanting to offend the maker/seller, then at least “Made in the USA”, when it applies. For me, I’ll continue to avoid buying anything “made in China”, especially these high ticket items.

too bad its red china and a 1 year warranty I had held off on ordering my PACT but with a lifetime warranty and made in the usa it is a go for me

I stopped and looked at this unit and it is Made in China, but so is the RCBS powder dispenser. Between the two, I would pay the extra for RCBS. The RCBS seems to be much better made and it’s been through a few revisions in the design already to fix the initial design flaws.

If it gets a favorable review and is not “made in China” I would consider it.
