    As with most things you get what you pay for.

    Personally "good quality powder measure" and $49 does not compute.

    YMMV

    I have two RCBS powder throwers set up on my bench, one for small cartridges and one for the larger, they both throw within +or- .1gn, good bits of gear I reckon.

    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    Used 1 of those Lee throwers. Absolute rubbish!!

    I now have a nice new RCBS. Haven't used it yet as I have been waiting for a stand to arrive.

    I found you have to be very consistent in your lever operating to get it to throw the same all the time.

    There is a difference between what something costs to make and what marketing has fooled you into paying too much for.

    You are the one parting with the extra money for no justified reason.

    Good luck with that.
