[QUOTE="7mm Magnum, post: 489038, member: 15262"] Morning gentlemen,.. Well My main intent was not to throw this discussion into an argument. All I was trying to relay is the fact that for the I money spent on my Chargemaster I received a product which delivered exactly what I was looking for in a powder weighing system: [B][I][U]SPEED combined with ACCURACY ! [/U][/I][/B] As you will note in my previous post I DID use the beam scale for a means of accuracy testing of the electronic and then again did another comparison to an altogether different electric scale (the Dillon) and found the differences not worthwhile to worry about. I must also apologize for my claim of the difference in measuring .001,... that was a typo on my part and should have read [B].01[/B] Thick fingers and the small keys on the laptop combined with my not noticing my error on the post probably created the basis for this drawn out bantering and it was noticed this morning reading through all of the replies I found in my inbox this morning. In using my Chargemaster it has given me the confidence to trust it's measurements to be accurate,.. and if it makes any mistakes in the programmed weight throw the scale will set off an error alarm letting me know there's a problem. (happens once in maybe every 20-22 dispensings) I feel that any scale that can determine a weight amount accurately within the tolerable amounts in a ammunition reloading scenario (+/- .02 grains) and do it dependably time after time without me in the figure is a GOOD thing, and I openly welcome it. It hands down beats having to hand trickle or weigh out each and every charge for every round I'm assembling. It also went the step beyond my Dillon Determinator scale by having the auto dispensing mode putting the powder into the pan and stopping automatically at the desired weight. For me,.. it was a welcome and accurate way of dispensing the powder weight in an unassisted mode. When it came to certain powder styles (extruded) being dispensed from my powder station on my 550B press I was not comfortable in trusting the machine to dispense them accurately so I did each individually myself with the scale by hand which was very time consuming.

By the time I deprime the brass case and reformed the brass it has already dispensed and weighed out the powder charge to install and assemble the round to completion. So to close out my feelings regarding the debate,.. I feel for me and no one else that the Chargemaster electronic scale and dispensing system is everything I was loking for,... and I do STILL have my beam scale for any backups that I may feel I need.
