[QUOTE="Sludge, post: 192084, member: 1928"] I cant speak for the DPS or the Chargemaster. However, I have experience with the older automatic trickler by RCBS. The one thing I found and you can take this or leave it, but I found the automatic trickler to be ok for throwing loads for general shooting. The autos do great at that. However, when trying to push the extreme spreads on my chronograph lower, I found they are limited by the fact that they round to the nearest tenth of a grain and arent accurate enough for my tastes in that reguard. I ended up using my thrower to work on one bench and throw a charge to about a tenth shy of my intended load, then I move the pan over to another bench and top it off by hand with a balance beam scale while the automatic trickler prepares another for me. Having the automatic trickler working on one bench behind me while I fine tune a charge on another bench allows me to quickly spit out higher quality ammo. I can get more uniformity with the balance beam and the chronograph results have shown the difference. Now, as I said before, if its just pistol loads, or plinking ammo, I will just accept the loads the automatic trickler puts out. Its just the long stuff that I get really picky about (maybe too picky at times). I hope that makes sense. My two cents, your mileage may vary... [/QUOTE]
