Re: Stoopid reloading mistake#37.

At the end of the day, who can say weather a round was loaded with a Lee dipper or an electronic nightmare????
I use all of them, just depends of what I am loading at the time.
It's all up to you.
I only bought the electronic nightmare because I just wanted it. It is a very cool unit and works well for me.
My friend who reloads also used an OLD Redding beam scale what would NEVER balance to zero. It was it's design to do so, you had to figure out the actual weight by taking the amount it went over zero to the amount it went under zero ( The swing ) and divide that to find your weight.
And thats with NO drafts in the room...It's very sensitive..!!

It was NOT for me...!!!
I'll take my rcbs 10-10 scale anytime ;-)

Re: Stoopid reloading mistake#37.

My main scale is a RCBS 10-10, I also own a RCBS Charge master 1500.
Had the Chargemaster for about 5 years now, I don't use it every time I load, but gets used about every few times depending on what I'm loading. It's very handy for making up several test rounds on the fly. Just dial in amount of powder needed and push START.
It has not failed me so far :hurry:
It has a lot of features I like but I'm sure the other guys do too.
I like to load my rifle and "some" pistol rounds in batch loads, so I set the unit to drop X amount of powder, then remove pan and pour into brass, then replace pan. When I seat the bullet , the unit has already poured my next charge waiting on me.
I have checked and double checked the Chargemaster's drop weight at several different points and all is well.
I have read many problems with the other guys digital powder dispensers and even some about the RCBS unit. Like I mentioned earlier, I have had no trouble soooooooo farrrrrr. ;-)

It's man made and destined to fail at some point, but not yet.
I don't let my guard down, so I check it's operation frequently best I can.
You know what murphy says..!!
