I use a RCBS Chargemaster Supreme and have no complaints. I do produce ammo with single digit SDs (at times) which makes me believe that the scale is accurate. However, I chronograph every round fired and do see velocities that are suspicious. An occasional shot from a known load that produces a velocity 50-60fps out of the norm or just some rather high SDs with very carefully loaded ammo.

So .... I decided to just suck it up and to buy an A&D FX120i. I will still use the Chargemaster but I want to verify the weights until I better understand what is going on with the velocities that bother me.

Where is the best place to buy an A&D FX120i? And can I add the trickler later if I decide to go that route?

Im in the same boat as you. Will you keep me posted on your findings?

I found all three of my Chargemasters to be slow, too slow for even an old slow-talking southern boy.
I could throw a charge with a RCBS Uniflow and trickle with a Dandy Trickler much quicker. Things really have been more accurate, faster and all around easier with the AT V3 and FX-120 digital scale. The unit on Amazon is the best place to buy IMO.
 
Macdonald Innovations is another source.

Wait, I got the Autotrickler there. Can't remember where the scales came from..??
