Its only 50$ rebate if you just buy the chargemaster 1500. Its suppose to be if up to 300$,but RCB will honor even if under 300$ a bit.

The details are on the rebate form.
 
Mc Donalds straw(clean), cut a short piece 3/4-1", cut one end so that it has several pointed fingers 1/4" long. Your sniping little triangles out of the end going around.(/\/\/\/\/\) Slip the square cut end inside the trickle tube maybe 1/2" so that just the fingers extend out past the end of the metal tube. It should now drop one grandule at a time in the last stage. You may need to make several with different size slits-fingers for different powder types.

No you cant dump right into the case. I bought the Lyman powder pan funnel , i had to add some weight to it to get the auto dump to work.
 
I'm at a little over 9000 rounds with mine.
2 things I have done that improved on a great machine.
the first is to dryer sheets under and on the sides of the despencer - this eliminates static.
And second I sped up the despence rate Like Larr said.
This may help also
Rcbs sent me a email on how to speed up the chargemaster.
If any one wants the info. pm me your email and I'll foward it
to you.
This is right from RCBS:

Chargemaster 1500 Speed Adjustment

1. Turn the unit on.
2. When 0.0gn is on the display, press BOTH the ENTER and the EDIT MEM keys on the dispenser at the same time. Hold for a second and then release. If done properly ADJUST PARAMETER should scroll across the display followed by HSP 00015.68 (This number represents the number of grains away from your entered charge when the tube will shift from fast speed to medium speed. That is at 15.68 gn from your target charge the dispenser will shift from fast to medium speed.) To speed up the unit, this number needs to be decreased and to slow down the unit, this number needs to be increased. (On a slow unit, I would change this number to11.00 gn this is done by pressing the following keys: 1 1 0 0 ENTER (pressing the enter key sets that value and moves to next setting in program in this case, to medium speed to slow speed setting)
3. HSP 00003.42 should scroll across the display now. This number represents where the unit will shift from medium to slow speed. Using the same process as before in # 2. For a slow unit I would change this number to 2.50 gn this is done by pressing the following keys: 2 5 0 ENTER (pressing the enter key sets that value and moves to next setting in program in this case, to slow speed to trickle speed setting)
4. HSP 00001.08 should now scroll across the screen. This number represents where the unit will shift from slow speed to trickle. Using the same process as before in # 2. For a slow unit I would change this number to .90 gn this is done by pressing the following keys: 9 0 ENTER
5. This is all the adjustment that needs to be done to the unit. You need to press the ENTER key to cycle through the rest of the program. (approx. 22 times) The unit will start its normal initial countdown process when this is done. You need to test out the dispenser now. Enter your target charge and dispense. I usually disregard the first charge. Throw a few charges at these settings to see if they will work for you. If they don’t, return to step # 2 and repeat the process. NOTE due to powder variations you may have to adjust the unit for each powder. If you have any questions about this matter please call our customer service line 800-533-5000 my name is Don Legg and I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
 
I also use the McDonald's straw but do things a little different. I push the straw all the way in and take a marker and mark the edge of the opening in the alum. tube. Then I pull the straw out and trim out half of the opening. You can see this in the first pic. Then I put the straw back in line up the opening and trim the front. I also changed the setting to run faster. I have not had a problem with Varget or any other powder and this throws powder more consistent. I don't believe the opening in the alum. tube needs to be that big.

This +1. Tried the crown looking straw to no avail on 4007SSC, but restricting the inlet side has made for
 
This is great info. I am going to be buying an RCBS reloading kit from cabelas and I think I will spend the extra cash and get the one with the Chargemaster.
