RCBS Chargemaster or Lyman 1200 or other??

[Candocad]

I am considering the purchase of one of the above and would like to know if one is better than the other.

I see think there are 4 manufacturer's to choose from:

RCBS
Lyman
Hornady
IDS

I reload for hunting and target shooting in .308 mainly, any model / maker recommended?

Thanks.

Here are some very good comparisons that include two that you are considering.

I purchased an RCBS unit from Sinclair International for about $300. Great piece of equipment!

Thanks very much for the link, I enjoyed it so much I even did the (FRAUD ALERT) donate at eh end of it. Super evaluation, and I think it almost concludes the search, however, I have heard that the Hornady is very relaible and reasonably fast, and I wonder if anyone has any experience with the IDS model. (Which also happens to be very competitively priced.)

Thanks again, a great link.

I went with the Chargemaster and have zero regrets. From what I've read on here if you ever need warranty, they are the ones to be dealing with.

I have been using a Lyman 1200DPS for several years, never had any problems with it.

I have only used the Chargemaster, and with little tweaking they will dispense fast.

I went with the ChargeMaster Combo as well and it's never missed a beat. I agree with your take on RCBS warranty. I've found their customer service to be second to none.

I have a Chargemaster and the Hornady, I can't really see a speed difference.

I've been thinking about the RCBS chargemaster for a while now too Natchez's Shooter supply in the US usually has them the cheapest.

Me too.

Accurate and quick with no problems.

You can speed up your Chargemaster with some simple adjustments.

They will ship this to Canada?

You can speed up the Hornady even easier than the chargemaster.
