so after much thought and having it on the "wish list" I finally got one.
why did I wait so long?
sat there with it last night checking it for accuracy, always within 0.1 of a grain. just hit the trickle button once, and it made the load just as I wanted it. So much faster than the beam and manual trickler. Very happy with it.
 
What scale did you use to check the accuracy of your dispenser?
Because you cannot rely on the accuracy of the dispenser itself to check its own accuracy..... Need an analytical scale or at very least a gempro 250 which is known to be quite reliable to .02 grains.

I have ordered a gempro 250 and will check my chargemaster loads when i get it.

Why not just buy check weights? Can't the Gempro lose calibration?

All scales must be calibrated and can lose calibration. Calibrating with an x weight doesnt guarantee y weight accuracy
Dispenser is acurate to .1 and gempro to .02

What garentee's the gem pro is reading right? That's like using one car to check another cars speedometer. The check weights provided tell you the scale is correctly reading what's it's capable of. If your scale is rated to 0.1 grains then it doesn't matter what come after that. So unless you need more accurate charges said scale is good enough.

Why does everyone on this site want o babysit?
If you read my post, it clearly states that I had been using a beam and a trickler for years. Wouldnt one assume that I used the scale as mentioned to check the accuracy of the digital dispenser?
Dont ask me what scale I used to check the loads, that just pisses me off at the "babysitting", but asking "did you remember to double check with a beam?" or something along those lines would be more appropriate.
I posted about the scale cause I was happy with a new purchase.
So you know:
I have been reloading for 15yrs, I do several calibers, I have a few manuals, I have manuals on the computer as well. I have a Dillon press, and RCBS press, and a Hornady press for shotgun shells. I do not mix my powders, I do not smoke while reloading....

relax.
 
comes with a 50g check weight, then tells you when you remove the weight the scale will read a certain number. put the pan back on the scale and hit "zero" it recalibrates to a zero, with the pan on the scale.
 
Not babysitting anyone, i dont care if you double checked the acuracy or not, i am not teaching you to reload, and i dont care how many manuals you have, my question was which scale did you use. Just wondering. It seems that you used a beam scale, that answers my question.
 
Congrats on yer purchase hoochie.
I run an older Lyman with the update kit, picked up off the EE from a great CGN member.
I check it with the 5-0-5 that I've been using for years... bloody great being automated when the production numbers get bigger
Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine... and may you wear it out before yer old!

That's not a check weight, it's a calibration weight. A set of check weights can be used to prove the scales accuracy over the range of measurement.
 
well hoochie, I for one am jealous...i'd be really happy with .1 as I don't load for match, just plinking around. it's on my "list" of wants for sure.
enjoy the time you save with it.
cheers
