electronic powder dispensers

I have a PACT and I don't know how I got along without it for as long as I did. Absolutely would not go back to hand weighing charges.
The PACT is very accurate within 1/10th of a grain and very fast. Generally, depending on your powder type, it will throw an accurate charge weight and be "on the money" almost everytime.
PACT makes dispensers for some of the big reloading names such as RCBS etc.
 
thats a pretty nice article WT. i have the rcbs chargemaster and love it. very fast and very accurate. i didnt really know how it measured up to the others. i highly recomend it to any serious loader.
 
I've got the RCBS set up and wouldn't be without it.
Accurate as abeam scale. Depending on how quiet your reloading bench is it will usually throw charges right on the money. I placed a lite foam pad under the scale and it took some of the bench vibration out and settled the scale down. Its very handy if you decide to weigh bullets or cases.
Its very useful on load development, punch in 26.5 load 5, punch in 26.8 load 5, and so on. No twisty turney check check. When running a same weight batch, just punch in the number, 28.6 hit dispense and it whirles it up. Dump off and hit dispense again. While its dispensing the next charge you can take care of other chores. Seat bullets, clean primer pockets, what ever. Just be aware the scale unit is very sensitive to bench vibrations and the scale display will jiggle and you may not hit your load mark.
Yes it takes longer to throw 80 grains than 30 grains, and you have to recalibrate when you change powders, or turn the unit on but all in all I think it was worth the expense.

I guess it depends on what your looking for whether or not you'll find the unit worth while. If your cranking out mass quanities of bang bangs its slow. If your taylor making the best loads you can then its a worth while tool.

Long Warm-Up Time
The Lyman takes nearly a half an hour to get warmed up. For this reason, if you plan multiple reloading sessions over a day, it's best to leave it operating. NOTE: The Warm-up time for the PACT and the RCBS dispensers is a matter of a minute or so.

wrongtarget,thank's i skimed over the article fast and must have missed that info.i'm bringing my lyman back for a rcbs.
 
I also have the new RCBS chargemaster combo. Bought it and the case prep center. I don't know how I ever got along without them. Worth every penny if you reload much IMHO---2MG
 
fwiw,
The Chargemaster is hard to beat for the money. The Prometheus system is more accurate and better built, however, it costs six times as much. The Chargemaster is a quantum leap ahead of the PACT...
