[QUOTE="KSAv8r, post: 2470281, member: 86098"] I have used a RCBS ChargeMaster for several years and it works as advertised......accurate to +/- 0.1 grain. It would give an ES of usually around 20+ fps since there is a small variance between each powder drop. Plenty good for most calibers used for hunting out to somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 yards. YMMV. My AutoTrickler v4 and A&D FX-120i scale arrived about 3 weeks ago. It is definitely a step up in speed and accuracy. Now seeing ES between 6-15 fps and single digit SD's without doing any extra trickling or weighing of the powder. Didn't change anything else. Same brass, powder, bullets, primers and reloading process. I was a little challenged with getting it calibrated since there are several settings in the app but Adam MacDonald immediately replied to my emails and has since done a video on YouTube on calibration.
