Thread: Which Powder Dispenser

I' m using an old RCBS charge master 1500.
With straw and speed mods as per Spanners years ago post.
Its quite bulky to store and looks like a plastic fantastic but considering the moving parts it just keeps going and going.
I dont do anything else like seating bullets while its pouring because the loads go crazy.
Calibration is very stable. I've got a small nut that weighs 44.3 gr and check it at start middle and end of each session and it's always spot on.
Every 5th load I wait a few extra seconds for it to display the actual weight dispensed and I accept + 0.1 gr overrun (gong shooting to 500m only plus hunting). About every tenth load is + 0.2 gr and I discard those when I see them and check the next two to assure the machine hasn't gone haywire but it's always come right next load. I get more overthrows after towards the end of the session ie after 30-40 loads.

So it could well be the newer throwers are better but the charge master was the original and is the benchmark to compare them to.
