Auto dispensing powder measures

Because absolutely perfect every time is an objective. Doesn't have to be. But I like hitting the mark. Every last time. A 1.5 inch group will kill Mr. Deer just as dead as a .675 group. But I strive to achieve the best possible load and then I stick to it.

If he is 40 yard broadside or 145 quartering to me or 350 head on. If I want to kill him then he will die. There is never a doubt in my mind.

To each his own.

Why do you need loads to be absolutely perfect every time? Not trying to stir the pot but I fail to see the advantage of weighing every charge. Most bench rest shooters don't even do it.
What am I missing here?

I don't believe that most bench rest shooters don't weigh individual charges.

In load development I have noticed groups expand up to 1/2" with .2gr difference at 100yds. Will this matter with your 60yd deer kill? Of course not. Will this affect your group at 300 yards? Certainly.

I would like to load ladders in .2gr increments for different Ogive lengths.... For different powders. May try 3 different Lengths in 7 or 8 charges per powder. Each charge to be loaded to exactly the grain for the test to determine what performs the best... Then I have 2 rifles of the same caliber. And all this with near unlimited bullet selection. This is why I want the chargemaster personally. Necessary? Nah. But, it gives me an excuse to get to the range and will hopefully give me more time behind the trigger and less sitting at the bench.

Pickup a couple McDonald's straws to slide in the trickle tube. You'll thank me later.

Do this as well. You can also reprogram it to speed it up. Mine spits em out fast. You just change the high, medium and trickle parameters
 
Bench rest shooters absolutely weigh each charge. Hunting and accuracy are two different things. I know of no BR shooter where .1 grain is not unacceptable.
 
I freely admit I am not an accuracy nut. I set the powder scale and weigh maybe every 20 rounds or so to make sure everything is still OK. Most of my time is spent off hand shooting to practice. I can understand someone's love affair with shooting small groups.
Some people reload to shoot, some shoot so they can reload.
It's all good!
 
RCBS Chargemaster all the way,I ck the loads every now and then with a balance scale just to be certain,has never varied at all.My hunting loads are done on it my plinking,shooting loads are done with the charge bar on the Dillon 550.Either way very little difference but I like the feeling I get when hunting with a cartridge I KNOW will be right!!!!!It just takes another variable out of the equation.When running a single stage press I can't tell it slows me down @all.
 
Well... She came in earlier in the week and I got her out today. This is EXACTLY what I was needing. Couldn't be happier with it. Thanks for the recommendations. I think I'm good for a minute, but eyeballing case prep centers now. When does it stop? [emoji1]
 
I been at it since mid 1980's. I am always looking at the new products and some of the old.

You will know you are in for good when you the first thing you check on when considering a new rifle is are the components available.
 
I just had to find this thread and update.... I'm out of empty brass. I love this thing. Honestly out of all the individual components of reloading this is my favorite. Scooping and weighing charges was the most difficult and tedious part for me. This makes reloading more enjoyable and less of a job. Thing cost more than my press did, but it's worth it.
