Does anyone have any experience with the RCBS Chargemaster Combo Powder Dispenser or the Hornady Lock-N-Load Auto Charge Powder Dispenser.If you have,which one do you like the best?
 
I us the rcbs combo. I really like it and its fast to change powder in. I used the lyman 1200 for several years before going to this model.
 
I own a chargemaster and love it. my local gunsmith bought a hornady and had to send it back the next day due to its inaccuracy dispensing loads. it would dispense one load 1 grain higher then set then it would be short a grain. i never had a problem with the chargemaster,i reprogrammed my unit for faster dispensing and it works like a dream.

I have the RCBS after I got fed up with the Lyman DPS II 1200.

It's awesome.
 
I own a Hornady & Love it & the price is over $100 cheaper than the RCBS. I have NO trouble & have checked loads with a Beam Scale, was right on.
 
I just wonder if Hornady will stand behind there warranty like RCBS.I know they both just have a 1 year warranty,but I sent RCBS a email about there warranty and this is what they had to say,

Do you have many problems with these units?


No, we do not. If you experience difficulty after the one year warranty
period we can repair or replace it for a $45 charge at which time you
receive an additional 12 month warranty. Have a great day!

I have the RCBS and will never be without one again. It's never missed a beat and I have never had a miss throw on a load yet. I can't speak for a Hornady, never used one.

the one thing i couldnt find out about the hornady was whether it had a load memory. i bought the rcbs. i dont think you can beat their customer service either.
 
Hornady does not have the load memory. I also don't think that is worthy of the extra $100 for the RCBS.

I love my Hornady even more so because of the price I got it for.
