[QUOTE="Scott E Ames, post: 1898716, member: 60439"] My experience with the RCBS charge master has been very +/-. The scale wanders around up to 0.3 grains with the calibration weight on it and that is with a voltage conditioner and 30 minute warm-up. My A&D scale has always had the exact same weight on the calibration weight down to the 1/100 grain with no wavering. The charge master sometimes throws high or low relative to the programed weight. I use it only to get "close" to the final powder weight and finish on the A&D scale with a trickler. The RCBS is fine for hunting (1-1.5 moa) but leaves a little to be desired for precision loading. The type of power also plays a big part. Larger stick powders always meter worse than a fine spherical powder. There are some tune ups for the RCBS like the McDonalds straw that help but still a work in progress from my perspective. [/QUOTE]
