Quote:but the negative reviews read like horror stories from a reloader's Halloween party.....Not to say that negative reviews are always invalid, but over the years, I've found that some of the reviews are written by those that either don't read instructions and have problems, or those that try to get the item to do something that it was not originally designed to accomplish...
I do read them on most items for which I'm interested, but I've also found that if you check the dates of the reviews, and weigh the content, most items tend to get better reviews as time goes on...Maybe the manufacturers are listening, or users are learning to read...
As I go down through the 54 reviews on the Midway link that you provided, I find quite a few five star ratings as well as the negative ones...While I didn't bother to keep track of the ratio, the content of some seem to bear out my observation above...
