I have been using an RCBS uniflow powder measure for years, I like it because once I set it up, it is fast, I can fill 50 cases in about 5 minutes. Of course, it functions by volume of the charge and not the weight. I did an experiment with various powders, it is most accurate with ball powder. +/- .1 gn. with stick powder it gets within +/- .2 gn. So in the interests of accuracy (and I wanted a new toy) I bought an RCBS chargemaster combo. That measures each charge by weight and is always very accurate +/- .1 gn but the damn thing is very slow. I change my routine when I use the Chargemaster to measure and fill and bullet seat each round. I was loading 28 gn of H110 behind a 200gn jhp .44 mag it was taking the chargemaster 25 seconds a round to meter out 28 gn. Does this seem crazy to you guys? Now I am thinking that for near max loads, use the chargemaster and for normal stuff use the uniflow. What do you guys use to measure powder? Anyone using a Chargemaster combo?
Thanks,
