I purchased a chargemaster a few years ago but never opened it because I liked using my scale so I sold it (mistake) . This year I decided I wanted to spend less time reloading and more time shooting so I purchased another one - paid a lot more due to USA dollar exchange!. After my RCBS chargemaster finishes it trickle I put the tray on my AND FX120i. The RCBS scale is quite accurate but I use my tricker to bring it up to exactly what I want,; however it's still more accurate then either my lee or RCBS hand powder throwers were.

On another note, I decided to try the Lee case trimmer on my Lyman prep Center vs my Forster with a drill attached. I think I still like the Forster better - it's faster
 
Wish I could give you some feedback I purchased one on the EE back in mid July as part of a loading kit. The power adapter never got shipped and the seller says he's working on it. Contacted RCBS and they said they would send me one free of charge but I haven't seen it yet either.
 
I bought a Chargemaster about 5-6 years ago. the first one lost half of the display after a few months. RCBS sent me a new one, no questions asked.
I still am using that one, and have since purchased and set up a second unit. I like the Chargemaster. it saves me time, and with two, I can load
a lot of ammo, even for those bigger cases, in a relatively short stretch.

I recommend this unit. One mod that helps consistency, is the MacDonald's straw in the delivery tube. A fellow on here also makes a small insert
that works very well to avoid those occasional .1 grain overweight drops. Dave.
 
Good to go. I dont have any regrets buying it and it is surprisingly accurate once you do the straw upgrade!

If you have the fx120 already why oh why buy a chargemaster?

Google autotrickler. Adam is Canadian and a great guy.

If you are talking about the Dandy trickler I have one but using the Chargemaster is faster, and once I get the straw and make a few adjustments I suspect it will be very accurate. I like having the FX120 to double check weight because I know it is extremely accurate. It may not make a lot of sense .... but then neither does all the money spent on reloading
 
Still using the one I bought about 6yrs ago. No issues other than some powder kernels that fell in below the pan and caused a data link error. Just needed to blow them out with compressed air. Bought mine at Natchez.

Just added this to my FX120i... it works very well. Faster then I can seat a bullet when a charge close to desired is put on the scale.

Within a kernel of ideal if not ideal... huge time and fuss saver. Expensive but as a system, I am very happy.

Happy with the McD straw and programming mods. Faster than me seating bullet/OAL check except for the 10% when it overshoot the drop.

Pretty sure it is NOT kernel precise but neither is my shooting skills.
