I believe in the Bible, Freedom, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and personal responsibility. My government believes I am narrow minded, intolerant and dangerous.
I use a RCBS Chargemaster 1500 with an extra identical 1500 scale.
I move the charged pan to the second scale to verify the charge weight. It rare for the scales to agree on the dispensed weight. Depending on the powder it usually takes 2 to 3 extra individual granules of powder added to the light reading scale to bring both scales into agreement.
That not much extra powder to add to bring the 2 scales into agreement.
My set of check weights measure as they should on both scales.
The auto dispenser is not fast. My Redding Match-Grade Model 3BR powder measure is faster for pistol cartridges if you don’t mind a slight 1 to 2 tenths variation in charge weights.
If you want or need the charge weight to be exact then you need to dump a little low and trickle up, which makes this method slower than the auto dispenser.
My only complaint about the Chargemaster dispenser is it has too many memory features that I don’t use.
I have an RCBS 1010 beam scale but it’s rarely used now that I’ve moved on to the digital age.
I even use the Chargemaster and the 3BR with BP, they work great with BP.
Now my Lyman 55 BP measure with its steampunk style mechanism is collecting dust too.
