I have the Chargemaster and while I like it, I would like to have a scale that is more accurate and attaches to the dispenser. The straw helps with the accuracy, but I always want more. The speed of the Chargemaster is nice and will keep up with the Dillon loader that I use to load with.
Calibration is easy which is a plus.
Need a better scale...maybe dispenser too...

Re: Need a better scale...maybe dispenser too...
I tried a chargemaster and was not impressed at all with it's accuracy. I do not reload in any bulk fashion, single stage press and each charge measured out on the Gempro250. I do have a certified Ainsworth analytical scale that is accurate to 1/140th of a grain to verify the accuracy of whatever scales I use.

the chargemaster openly claims that its a +/- 0.1gr scale so comparing its accuracy to something of that's certified to 1/140th of a grain is comparing the steering and suspension of a a 1972 dodge pinto to a damned ferrari
thats not even in the same ballpark, no less the same sport
i mean honestly for what 97% of shooters are going to need the chargemaster is more than accurate/consistent enough to produce very good quality ammo with consistent powder charges.

That would be a Ford Pinto. It made Time Magazine's list of Top 50 worst cars ever, but in defense of it's reputation. so did a Ferrari.

I simply used the Ainsworth to verify the scales accuracy, there was no comparison made between them, you are supposed to use more precise measuring devices to check lesser ones, standard operating procedures.plant.one wrote:talonxracer wrote:I tried a chargemaster and was not impressed at all with it's accuracy.

I don't use the Ainsworth to reload with, it is too damned big, bulky and slow, I use the GEMPRO 250 for reloading and it's accuracy is still far beyond the chargemaster at plus or minus .02g
maybe it is accurate enough for 97% of reloaders, but I never consider anything I do at such a low %, it is 100% or not at all, LOL the chargemaster had a .2gr spread, that is enough to open up groups. but like I said I don't reload mass amounts of ammo. I do not get off on mag dumps or full auto, but I do get a woodie when I hit thumb tacks at 200 yards.
