[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 339893, member: 1039"] Being that I'm a gadget guy :) I bought the RCBS Chargemaster AND an Acculab VIC-123. I like them both... and since I like my beam scale I guess that makes me a fence sitter :D All bs aside I just loaded 30 rounds of RE15 in some .308 cases. I varied the charge weight in groups of 6 cartridges. I dumped the RCBS into the Acculab. If it needed adjusting I tweaked it and dumped it in the case. Charge weights were: 39gr 41gr 42gr 42.5gr 43gr The last two (43gr) were over by by .1 gr. The rest were either dead on (to the nearest 100th of a grain) or .04 grain light when compared to the Acculab. So just how much is .04 grains? Two little sticks of RE15 was about .04 grains on the Acculab. I had to be careful because things like breathing made the Acculab "move around". I think that I can load faster and almost as accurately with the beam scale... but that might just be my pride talking. So who here thinks that .04 grains is going to affect accuracy significantly, if at all. I think that I make enough mistakes, never mind all of the other variables, when I shoot that the difference .04 grains might make gets lost in the statistics. [/QUOTE]
