Reloaders- I need some scale help

[Bucknaked]

My Digital scale / auto powder measure met its life’s end. I don’t want to try and replace it because there isn’t one on the market that doesn’t have bad reviews ( that I have found anyway). I’m not going to spend My money on junk. I went back to my old Redding manual scale but my hands are just too shaky and it takes too darned long to measure out each load. I’m also too shaky for my Redding powder trickler. I’m trying to get set-up with a good scale and a good electric trickler.


Any help would be great! I’m not interested in the hornady unit- the only red on my bench is my Forster press

I have a rcbs charge master. I had to make some speed adjustments and hot glued a whataburger straw on the inside of the trickle tube. It had been very consistent for 5 years now.

Chargemasters are hard to beat for the money. I use an A&D scale with AutoTrickler but they get spendy. Not sure what your budget or required level of Precision is.

I used to have one and it was great but what they are producing Now, not so much ! Too many variances

My budget is a lot less than that lol! That is quality equipment for sure though.

I do not shoot matches but I load my plinking/ hunting cartridges like I do

There’s a guy on the Texas Hunting Forum that machines a brass tube to go in the tube on the Chargemaster. After that mod, mine has never failed to throw the exact charge. Before that I used the soda straw and it was ok, but not as good as the brass tube. The cost is not much and you mike your tube so that he gets a good fit.

How old is your charge master if you don’t mind me asking?

I've been using a RCBS charge master for about ten yrs now. It's been a good machine and the soda straw does help. I also use a small digital scale just to double check my loads. I can say you don't want a fan or a/c unit blowing anywhere around it due to the sensitivity.

I have a Chargemaster I’m looking to sell since upgrading to the Autotrickler V4. I’ve used it for about 6 years.

Let me know if interested.

Been using a hacked Chargemaster for over 20 years. Does a great job and is about as fast as a digital trickle charger can get.

You can’t go wrong with a RCBS Chargemaster. Purchased a new one here on TBH a few years ago and it works GREAT!

Another one for the ChargeMaster. I use the scales more than anything. Use them for archery stuff too. What's nice about them, they come with weights to calibrate them.

[Bucknaked]

I don’t know why no one has mentioned the ChargeMaster

I’m hearing y’all

I just need a Black Friday deal now. Thanks for everyone’s input
Happy Thanksgiving

Let’s be honest, you need an ATV3/4 or a super trickler. Simply can’t beat them
