Also have a Chargemaster 1500 but can't trust it for accuracy work. Also hate the inconvenience of cleaning it out when done.

So for now I use the Lee with stick powder and a Lyman 55 for ball powder. If and when I buy another it will be a Redding.

The only reason I still use the Lyman is it is quicker to adjust where I want it then the JDS, though not as accurate over-all. My scale is a old RCBS 10-10 I must confess, I was born at a very early age. --Groucho Marx Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when they deserve it. --Mark Twain
