    electronic powder despinsers

    Looking at getting one of these. Any ones to stay away from? Quite keen on a hornady one.

    You like good stuff, ditch the Hornady and get a Lyman.

    Lyman all the way. Takes up bugger all room on your bench as well
    Had a fault with my one that I caused over time not cleaning the powder off properly. Sent back to Lyman and got brilliant service and free return.
    Throws all powders I have run thru it accurately.

    If you interested, contact Jason at Ozark Outdoors, his "shop" is all via Trademe, however here is his email.

    Good luck, I got my gen6 just last week and he does have a gen5 in stock right now...

    Just imported a chargemaster from Rcbs
    Can't fault it
    Cost me around $330 landed
    Really pleased with the results
    I'm not sure why these are so expensive here in NZ
    As per projectiles, powder etc we get stung here big time

    Only get stung for powder and primers, all my projectiles come direct like your CM.

    CM is a great device however my scales unit went belly up recently after several years of trouble free service.
    RCBS offer no repair facility (it's a throw away item at any rate) as they bring the CM in from China (what a surprise).
    They also have a very ungenerous 1 year warranty.
    I tossed up replacing with a Lyman Gen 6 but ended up getting just a new scales unit as the dispenser itself was still faultless.

    My lyman goes alright tho I have to have the "choke" in for all powders I run or it will overweight consistently, choke in all good.
