[QUOTE="jimwest, post: 2096661, member: 99028"] What are your expectations in regards to accuracy or consistency? .1 grain or better? What powder(s) do you use? Is this for pistol, rifle, precision long range rifle, hunting ammo or what? How much are you willing to spend? Do you already have an accurate beam scale to check the accuracy of the digital scale that is usually paired with the auto thrower? I have been using an RCBS Charge master and have had good results. At first, I was very disappointed in the product. It consistently threw a charge .2-.3 grains over. Then a member of this forum suggested the “McDonald’s straw” upgrade. My over throws reduced to 1 in 9. Next, I started closing the plastic shield as the powder was being dispensed. This is supposed to alleviate 'drift'. My over/under throws now average 1 in 35 with IMR 4895 powder I chronograph my shots and keep my velocity SD below 12 fps. I would suggest that inconsistency is more influenced by neck tension than a difference of .005 grains powder. Just my opinion like everyone else. Again what are your expectations? [/QUOTE]
