[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1738925, member: 69478"] In my opinion, the only advantage to the Charge Master powder measures is speed. They’re not as accurate as a good digital or beam scale. I have thought about getting a Charge Master a couple of times, but I have heard complaints about them. I use a Redding BR3 powder measure set a few tenths light and I trickle up to my final charge weight and measure on a Bald Eagle digital scale that measures to the hundredths place and not just the tenths like most scales. This process isn’t as fast as the Charge Master, but it’s not slow and I know it’s precise. I’m also not the biggest fan of the RCBS Rock Chucker presses. I think they’re too big for anything except maybe RUM and larger sized cases. I use an old RCBS JR. 2 press thats super smooth, loads very true ammo, and has very good feel when seating bullets. The Rock Chucker from my experience, doesn’t offer as much feel when seating bullets. I like to be able to feel the bullet go in the case. That’s just a personal preference. If I was buying new, I’d look into the RCBS Partner press. As far as primer seating. I’m also not a fan of using the press to seat primers. It offers no feel and you can’t determine how loose or tight a primer pocket is. I use an old Lee hand priming tool. The model I have has since been replaced with a newer model that I’m not the biggest fan of. I still would prefer any hand priming tool over using the press. [/QUOTE]
