Hi all,
I tried the search function but did not find anything. I am looking for an electronic powder measure for reloading. I am wondering what your guys opinions are on the RCBS Chargemaster or Chargemaster Lite or Hornady or Lyman or anything else you may recommend. I have been reloading many years abut finally decided to make the jump to something that will speed up the process a bit. I will mainly be loading for 30-06,308,7mm08,30-30,243,6.8 SPC and 223. Most of the 223 will be plinking ammo but I do reload for accuracy with the 223.

Creeping up on 3 years with a Chargemaster Lite. My only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. Spherical Belgian/Ramshot powders bounce out of the cup a bit more than I care for, and letting it warm up is never a bad idea, but other than that, no complaints.

I'd go with one of these two. I have the ChargeMaster Combo, but the ChargeMaster Lite gets very good reviews with fewer bells and whistles.

My RCBS Lite has been absolutely excellent. Decently fast and throws perfectly on-weight as measured against a beam scale. It met and exceeded every expectation I had for it. The jump up to the next level of auto trickler performance is a very expensive venture.

Almost bought a second one to half my powder throw times. For plinking ammo, I don’t actually recommend it. Just use a traditional dropper/thrower. The precision isn’t worth the time commitment.
