My Hornady works great. On a check it's never off. Cheapest way to get an auto-measure I believe. And it's one piece, so no messing with a seperate scale either.
Best Automatic Powder dispenser??

I set up the Lyman last night. It does seem a bit fussy to clean out the first time you read the instructions, but once you do it it's pretty slick.
I ran both 2400 and then Red Dot through it. The charge weights checked against a balance beam and were within acceptable tolerances for me. Quite often the unit would throw a charge, hit the right weight, and then be a tenth of a grain short once complete, but these still checked out ok on the beam. I would verify every 5th charge or so.
Unit takes 3 minutes to warm up, and provides a countdown clock. The touch screen is a bit small, but serviceable, and it was dispensing charges fast enough that it was ready by the time I had seated the previous bullet, or about 10 - 12 seconds, I figure. These were all charges under 20 grains.
And the best part, for me, is the small footprint, since my space is at a premium.
130 or so rounds down and I'm happy with this dispenser at this point.

Also have the Chargemaster from Natchez. When it is on sale and you figure in the $50 rebate RCBS has/had on its a great deal. I started out triple weighing with the CM, a Gempro 250 and a Dillon Terminator. Now I just check with the Gempro for precision stuff and skip checking for plinking. Depending on the powder type the CM can be very consistent.

A few seconds like 10 or less for sure. 300+ grains only takes 40 seconds or so
i trashed the chargemaster box so I cant get the 50$ rebate. Pos.
Bah, mail in rebated are a pos, they know 1 in 2 people wont get it. Thats why they do it.
I don't have time to #### around with ####ing mail in rebates so I never get those.
