Powder scale recomendations?

[Rob]

My current powder scale is acting oddly so I am in the market for a new one.

I have one of the older RCBS Chragemaster.  I kinda like it but it is super slow and only drops the correct charge weight 2 or 3 times out of 4 which slows things down even more-i typically have to add or remove 2 to 3 10ths or more when it is off.  Sometimes 5/10s.

Is the RCBS Chargemaster Supreme any better?  If the newer auto drop scales are about the same as my current one I will probably go back to a simple electronic scale.

What others have folks been happy with?

Been happy with mine. Dumps fast and accurately. Operates from an app off your phone. Last one you’ll ever need!

Call me old fashioned but nothing I’ve seen is faster than a powder measure and a trickler.   Jmo

That looks very nice!  A bit out of my budget I'm afraid though!

That is kinda the direction I am headed unless I hear good feedback on an auto charger.

Me second! I reload strictly for accuracy, so I end up trickling each charge to a tenth of a grain anyway.

Check out the Redding,  they have a challenge  to anyone

02000   Model No. 2 Master Powder & Bullet Scale

We invite you to test the Redding Model 2 Scale!
Put it side by side with any competition  regardless of price.  Using tweezers, drop one or two granules of powder into the pan and watch the scale beam pointer react, then do the same with our competition. Next, zero the scale properly and move the small 1/10 grain counterpoise 3/10 grain. Watch the scale beam pointer move to an indication of -3/10 grain. Try this with our competition. Every Redding scale manufactured is individually tested and adjusted to U.S. Bureau of Standards Approved Master Weights, and guaranteed accurate to less than 1/10 grain!

I upgraded to the newer RCBS charge master supreme and have been very happy with it.  Has been very accurate and has given me great results.  It’s faster than I would be doing it manually.  I would purchase again without hesitation. 

As a point of reference…..since I’ve owned it, I’ve probably reloaded 2-3k rounds so I’ve put it through its paces.

Supertrickler. It’s a learning curve at first but once you get the hang of it, it’s great.

V4 auto trickler A&D FX120i. Unknown munitions has 2 in stock currently which is rare. They’re a lot of money but i love mine.

I use my Hornady Powder Drop for everything.
For good measuring powders I use for plinking I set the drum and go for plinking ammo.
For stick Powder and others that do not meter that good ill set it just under the intended weight and finish it off with my Hornady electronic Powder trickler
I use an old OHAUS Beam Scale.
I was using the hornady electronic scale that came with the kit I bought, after a while it would not accurate anymore.
After that I only use the beam scale, which I have a few extra.
I just bought another new old stock OHAUS beam scale from a friend for another extra scale.

Once I bought the electronic Powder measure I retired the hand trickle. On trickles, Electronic is the only way to go.

I load to the single kernal every time.
 V4 autotrickler measures to .02 gr. Works fine and weighs 100 gr in about 8-12 secs.   About as fast as I seat.

I use a set of Lee power dippers to get close, and pour it onto the balance beam scale that came in a rock chucker kit. Pretty slow going. I've thought about an electric powder scale. Following along.

[HighlandLofts]

I don't trust electronic scales or electronic calipers.
Mechanical are more stable.

Another up vote for the RCBS Chargemaster Supreme.  Electronic scales need a controlled temp environment and at least with the supreme you need to turn it on and let it warm up for 15 minutes before use.
