We could talk about the parts that combine to make up the most precise and accurate powder measuring and dispensing system that has ever been created, but then we wouldn't be addressing what is really important.
Let's talk about what really matters.
There are devices designed to weigh out charges. That is all they do. The Prometheus is designed to do what demanding precision reloaders really want;
Get a precision charge into their case with minimal effort.
SPEED
Place your prepped and primed case beneath the Prometheus and dump powder directly into the case. Then seat a bullet into that charged case. By the time you are done seating and ready for another charge, it is already precisely measured and sitting in the Prometheus ready for you.
ACCURACY
No Prometheus Gen II has ever left our facility without being able to resolve a single kernel of Varget. Many users feel confident they can "call the charge" to half or even quarter kernel repeatability.
ERGONOMICS
Hold your case under the dispensing funnel and cycle the powder measure just like using a typical volumetric powder thrower. The "black box" takes the rough charge from the thrower and automatically trickles kernels until the mass of the charge is perfect!
CONFIDENCE
More than a few customers report noticeable improvements in their shooting, no matter how they were previously weighing charges. When you know that your ammo is "perfect," you analyze a miss without subconsciously rationalizing it was because of bad ammo. This tends to make you a better rifleman. The Prometheus Gen II is built around our proprietary beam scale rather than an electronic scale. This eliminates scale drift uncertainty, regardless of the cause.
Gravity works the same at your location as it does ours.
SATISFACTION
All of us have acquired something we were not happy with. Either it breaks or simply doesn't perform as advertised. It is rare for a piece of handloading equipment to become a status symbol, but the Prometheus Gen II has done just that, simply by being the very best. There is nothing else like it anywhere. Every unit is hand built here in the U.S.A. by the inventor to be the fastest, most precise, most accurate, and easiest to use automated powder measure in existence.
As you know my real name is not "Speedy" Gonzalez but "Thomas" Gonzalez and I live up to both names, "Speedy" for shooting fast and "Thomas" for doubting how thing work until I check them out personally, never taking anyone's word for quality or function unless I have actually tested or used the item myself. In fact all my students have head me say over and over again "I assume everything is always broken unless I check it first!".
The "Prometheus" and its latter generations was such a device. You and I have known each other for quite some time and I have seen your measure evolve from a "Rube Goldberg", "Mouse Trap" looking device to the "Gen II" that looks like it belongs on a Death Star planet killer.
Most people who own one never have the opportunity to compare one to another or do not have the high quality scales to verify thrown weights over several hundred charges to establish a mean.
I have began to migrate from the short range game of benchrest slowly into the the long range aspects of shooting and have come to understand how critical a single grain of powder has become and how paramount its effect is to shooting or competing at any extreme distance. At this point in time I have three of your "Prometheus Gen II" measures at my disposal and two Denver Instruments magnetic force restoration scales, a SI-64 and a PI-114 that resolve into 0.001 of a grain (In Metrology to speak of any number, be it dimension, weight, or velocity, the instrument used must be capable of discriminating 10 times finer than the number you wish to report on accurately).
After two years of testing and comparing three of your Gen II measure's, I am happy to report that such an investment proved to be worth the money and time involved. The Prometheus Gen II if set up correctly and maintained per your instructions is capable of nearly one thousandth of a grain accuracy, with the only thing keeping the measure from that capability is the variance in the individual grains of powder.
If I were new to any extreme distance shooting and setting up a budget, I would for the price of a good scope have to include a Prometheus in my my program to ensure consistent ES's and SD's in my reloading program.
Thank you for all the help along the way, great customer service is just as important as a great product and you furnish both.
Sincerely,
SPEEDY GONZALEZ
