Ive been using one for a few months now. So far so good. All that Ive run through it is Varget though and with this powder I generaly am fine tuning it by ~+/-.1grs though...
Snipers hide has a few good theads on the chargemaster too- including a couple of mods to supposedly help out with Varget. Ill get around to tring them sometime.
Anyone else using it succesfully with Varget?

I did that once and what a mess. I took a small cereal bowl and stuck it under the drain incase it happens again. I also use the bowl to drain powder in when I am switching powders.
I wrote this on the Hide this morning. Some of the problems I believe people are having with these machines are that they get in to big a hurry and don't let the machine work.
The machine stops as soon as it hits your preferred charge and sometimes right at that instant a clump of four or five kernals fall at that time which will cause an over charge. People then grab the pan and weight it on their beam scale and say that the thing is throwing over charges. If one will wait just a few seconds longer the machine will tell you if it's over weight.
As stated it hits the preferred charge and stops. It then goes to round count and then will go back to charge weight. If you wait until after the round count it goes back to the charge weight the machine will tell you if it's over weight.

been there, done that more than once.
i finally took a black sharpie marker and marked the top of the drain while it was closed. if i dont see a black mark straight up, i know the drain is open.

I bought the Hornandy Lock & Load Digital scale with some features like three speeds & over $100 cheaper than RCBS. Both are made in China & Probably by the same Company.
I use a Mcdonalds Plastic Straw in The powder tube Which Helps with the powder speed & accuracy. I bought mine thru Graf&Sons for under $200 Its a great unit, very Happy with it.

I got mine this week and only spent one night with it. I love it. Should have got it years ago.
