The RCBS ChargeMaster 1500 is it worth the cost over the other manufacturers?

Thank You.

I would buy the rcbs again But I have not tried the others.

I have nothing but good with mine.

[JesterGrin_1]

That is good to hear as I placed an order for one. I sure hope it is worth the cost of admission.

[FishingFool]

Yes. I'd buy it again no problems.

The one piece of reloading gear that I would hate to be without..............Terry

Mine works really well but I never used any of the others.

I've been using one for a few years off and on. Mine autozeros every time and can be off a couple of tenths +/-. Need to get a heavy slab to set it on. Flourescent lights might be jacking it up too.
Anymore, I tend to drop a charge and trickle up. Its faster too if using really large charges.

I would really like it if the zero didn't wander.

I don't have the RCBS one. Mine is the 3d Generation DPS from Lyman. It holds zero and calibration just fine. The only time I have needed to recalibrate is following a power failure. I leave it on 24/7 and check using the check weight before each loading session. The longest I have gone between calibrations is about 9 months.

Mine is on a cheap bookshelf bolted to the wall and sits about 3 ft below a flourescent light.

I love mine.

I want a prometheus II...

[Kenny Wasserburger]

Have one and got the programing info to speed it up, well worth it, I even use it for my BP loads, 110.8 grs of Fg for the 2-7/8 Sharps.

I just wanted to say I got the RCBS ChargeMaster 15OO in and hooked it up to power tonight and all I have to say is why in the heck did I wait so long lol.

I am not sure if the McDonalds Straw trick helps since I used it from the get go but when it did miss it was only off a tenth or two and I would just throw the powder back and let it do its thing again.

I will say that I checked it against my Ancient 40+ year old RCBS 10-10 and it looked to be 1/10 of a Gr light. But I have nothing else to compare it to.

Soooooooooo I ran with it.

I have read where some people think it is slow. But I guess I am slow as well lol. As just about the time I was ready to charge a new case the ChargeMaster was ready as well.

Thanks Gents

I will add though that when I have the time and energy I am going to make a dedicated table just for the ChargeMaster with a built in funnel under the powder drop of the scale so I can just run a tube down back to the powder container.
