RCBS Chargemaster
« on: April 21, 2007, 12:41:33 AM »
My wife has offered to buy one for me for Fathers Day. I've looked at them before, but didn't think I really needed one. However, I'm loading for rifles more than ever before, and find myself weighing charges on a Pact digital scale - very time consuming stuff. If anyone uses the Chargemaster, I'd appreciate your feedback on it's performance. From what I've read, it seems they are accurate and a big time saver.

Here's a member review on the Combo and a review of 3 digital dispensers at 6mmBR.

Look at the Quick Measure. This measure is so accurate you won't have to weigh each charge even with the long extruded stuff. They are on the web at www.quick-measure.com

The Chargemaster works far beyond my expectations.

So I assume your Pact scale is not the model with the infared sensor to connect it to their Powder Dispenser.  If does have the infared sensor, I would buy the Pact Powder Dispenser.  I have that combo and it works very well.

No. My Pact scale is not the model that goes with the dispenser, although it works very well.

I have been using one for either the past 1 1/2 or 2 1/2 years and love it It makes working up different loads so easy you wonder how you got along without it. ;D

Exactly what he said!!! 

I've had mine for about the same amount of time and if I had to go back to the old way of doing it I'd just quit reloading all together!  The Chargemaster is the way I went and I don't regret it at all.  The price has come down a lot since they were first introduced, they are fast and they are accurate.  You'll love it and it will breath new life into reloading for you!

Have been using mine for about 6months and is very easy to set up and use.  I was leaning toward pact at first because of price.  If you look around you may find the combo for $260.  At least that was the last time I looked at "Midsouth Shooters Supply".   It was money worth spent.  You won't regret the RCBS Chargemaster.  Good Luck!
